chezybezy: somebody mentioned about micro - transactions in game somewhere if that helps anyone decide?
e: i could have the wrong game but i dont think so seems about right ><

dyscode: Thanks, help me decide to ask for a refund. 1st time, ever on GG.
here is link to the m-T discussion on Steam:

Nuuu, just redeemed it on steam. ,_,
Interesting to note that some are PC as well. Also, anyone interested in Akaneiro, this gives you the $10 starter pack for free that Steam forces you to buy just to play the game.

Stooner: Are you sure? Clicking on each game tells you "DRM: Steam DRM"

really nice bundle, btw..

Momo1991: dovacore just brought that up - I guess I'll go check it again but I've had Amazon issues in the past where they say one thing but do something else when it comes to codes. :-(

Ok, it DOES say a Steam account is required when you scroll down almost to the bottom of the page. Amazon has got to get their act together with this stuff - it's very, very annoying :-(
Every game I buy goes through checks at to see which outlets are selling on their own platform, which are Steam keys, etc. I also refer to [url=http://www.gamecopyworld.com]GameCopyWorld to find out exactly what the DRM is for a given game because it's not always immediately apparent. It's useful in particular with Steam titles that have 3rd party DRM underneath like SecuROM. If in doubt, see what the crackers are cracking! :D

In the case of HR it's a Steam exclusive so every vendor is selling a Steam key, but it also uses Steam's CEG, which basically generates a custom executable for each account. Slightly extra DRM, but not too bad. Anyway, PCGamingWiki is an amazing resource. Use it, love it, contribute :D

akhliber: Were you able to get a refund after revealing/redeeming the Steam key and have the game removed from your account? Or had you not revealed your key yet? I am thinking of asking for a refund as well.
I just submitted a ticket a few hours ago. So it will take a few days I guess until this is solved, GG is slow but usually always helpful. According to GG policies there is a "14 day, no question asked" refund period as long as no d/l has been attempted or key has not been revealed or game has been gifted. If have none of it.

GG has a refund option for used games,but if for unsolvable technical reasons and if submitted within 14 days period. Check th details here:

SALE:
Borderland 2 for $12, -60%
It's a Mac site but since they provide a Steam Key, it does not matter anyway.
https://exclusives.macappdeals.com/sales/borderlands-2-for-mac

I have bought from MacAppDeals/Stacksocial before and had no problems.
I have not bought BL2 from there, though, as this ranks pretty low on my want list.

Just noting that PCGamingWiki info is also neither complete nor 100% correct on DRM info or reseller sources on the specific games it lists.

Very true. It's a lot like Wikipedia at university; insufficient by itself, but it's a great place to start the enquiry.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000C4E7R?tag=adventuregame-20

guess for hardcore-FMV-adventurefans interesting: Conspiracies 4.4$
avatar
MoP: Speaking of which, anybody following the Launch Sale recall if the first Conspiracies had been on a deeper discount?
The new weekly deals are up at ShinyLoot, and Conspiracies is one of them:

http://www.shinyloot.com/conspiracies?re=custom-filter-exact-24

It's 50% off, so $4.00 right now. Enjoy!

EDIT: Conspiracies II is similarly discounted at $12.50 right now. Either or both could still end up more heavily discounted during a daily deal, but that's not a given.

ABH20: Game Pack Deals Week at GMG. Some 24 hour and 48 hour deals too. Some are good, some are the same old sale price as usual, some aren't as good as they've been before.
avatar
ET3D: The Legacy of Kain Pack (Defiance, Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2) for $5.24 looks to me interesting to good old game lovers. I wasn't able to apply the 20% off voucher for some reason.
It's $4.50 again at GG, all Steam keys.

They've got The Walking Dead: 400 Days for $2.50, too, also Steamworks.
I guess the Gamefly 2K deals were already posted .

I have a question : Is there any DRM on the Gamefly version of Medieval II: Total War + Total War Kingdoms ?
So dumb question. If you buy Mafia II at Gamefly, do you get a second copy of Mafia II?

I'm thinking of buying Mafia II Digital Deluxe and would like to uh, trade away my extra key. >_>

I have no idea, but just wanted to mention that running it on an ATI card gives you a reasonable chance of the game not working properly. With the current pricing it's not a disaster probably, but I figured I'd at least mention it.

Hmm should I give Settlers 7 gold for 5€ a chance? (after they removed allways on, it could be a way to go)

Arteveld: Great deal, too bad they didn't accept PayPal last time i tried to buy something.
Hey!

I bought it and at least the 3 first missions are really borging, so it was luck (you thought) they dont have paypal...
