Looks like they removed the 2-week window after release as well (so the discount is now pre-order only). And the discount is now based on list price, not any discounted price (so you get lesser of list-20% or the discounted price, instead of discount-20% the way it had worked (and the way GCU still works).



Yuck.

Sadly it was always 20% off msrp/list so that isn't a change, but it was always a shitty aspect of it.

Yeah, the discount was always 20% max off MSRP, so even if the normal pre-order list price went down below the MSRP by a few bucks, it still scaled it to a 20% cap.

Prime was never the same as GCU, as GCU works on all games and all times (minus Black Friday deals), so not just pre-orders or the two week window. GCU is a continuous 20% discount no matter how long the games been out, and what the price drops to. Prime was only pre-orders, and the aforementioned grace period after release.
