Not really. Crusader Kings 2 is steam only. If you buy it on Gamersgate, you still need to activate it on steam.

DRM Free.
But that version has a built in online DLC store.

So only Sword of the stars 2 and Defenders of ardania and Magicka remain steamworks titles.

To my knowledge, the Gamer's Gate version is the only one that is DRM free, all other versions uses steam.

After that you get the same kind of downloader program and serial deal as Gamersgate (if you're familiar with them).

I was hesitate about buying any games from Amazon before. But the deal was a no-brainer since I didn't have any of the games in the bundle. Just used any hotel address,zip code in Alaska on hotel reviews sites and that was it.

I would rather advise to check taxes in different states.
It's better to choose a state with lower % tax on digital games :P
I'm living in Cambridge, Minnesota, if somebody asked me.
PS. Phone number is irrelevant.
Only Zip code and the state 'integrity' are checked.
somebody from the US could advise which states to use for the lowest taxation?

Finally, if the game has an Origin or Steam key you can not bother at all with Amazon's downloader and just put the key into the aforementioned client.
