We'll find out in 3 hours whether I genuinely do have a working time machine. :)

Nuoooossss... I kind of liked the time machine idea :(

STALKER $1 on Games For Windows

Should I get it? Can I just ignore the GFW client after installing, like I can with AOE3?

Yeah, in this case GfW Markeplace client is just a installer (like Impulse client). Don't forget to download and install Complete 2009 (2012) mod.

It's not GFWL game, so yes you can. And better be quick, the deal is going to expire soon.

Gah, I'm trying to hold off till it's on sale again on Steam(probably a bundle deal) but that mod makes it really hard to ignore xD

Edit: Pff error connecting to service. Guess it'll be moot if it stays like this for the next hour xD

Thanks, I'll get it. Even though it probably won't run for me, this is probably the best deal I'll find on it ever. I doubt it'll get lower than $5 on Steam during the holiday sale.

Also some of the STALKER mods, including Complete, are some of the most professional looking mods I've ever seen!

Whoah! I didn't even see that. I thought it was today's sale, not yesterday's.

Bought Clear Sky from GG, they say it is DRM free, but they still provide an activation key :(.
STALKER Complete mod is just only visual modification, i still could enjoy original story game, couldn't i?
I have SoC,CS :D; hope CoP Loyalty will onsale soon (alone no SoC+CoP bundle)

It's just a serial for the installer, it isn't activating anything (I think it's only needed for multiplayer). The Complete mod is not only visual enhancements but also a huge bugfix mod. Includes lots of balancing and overall improvements, the original story is unchanged. I wouldn't play the game without that mod, vanilla is just broken in some parts.

Damn, one more game on the sales there, that I can't buy in Germany, because of the legal restrictions :(

Atari week on D2D.

Monday: Star Trek Online 50% off
Tuesday:Test Drive Unlimited 50 % off
Wednesday: Haunted House 75 % off
Thursday: King's Bounty: The Legend 75 % off
Friday: The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena 75 % off.

It isn't an activation key, it's a multiplayer key for online. I checked the installer with protectionId and it doesn't have TAGES like CoP. SoC also uses a cd-key for online multiplayer.

Hey, according to my backup folder Setup.exe should've appeared briefly in the temp folder that GG creates. I'm sure it's the setup folder because the 'launch' file is exactly 1.9MB, also. There are also protect.exe and protect.dll files there, Sounds like StarForce. They claim to be v3.0.7, but I'm not sure. Disposable Virtual Machine it is, then.
