Not that I can think of off-hand, but post your list and I will look.

(You can't buy off Steam?)

Stooner: Same, if is not from Ubisoft (and a few other games, not sure what is the rule) it is cheaper.
Dark Souls, on the other hand, is more expensive...
I'm seeing a ton of holes on the deals over here, too. Fortunately I don't care all that much, I have most of what I want, but if I feel like playing something restricted (such as an EA game) and get a blocked download, I'm gonna be really pissed.

It's only a guess, but I think they only will not let you buy the games. If you already own there's no problem in playing them...

After all, a wandering pineapple can't have all the privileges.

If this is not posted yet, here is a tip:

You can buy something if the game is at a Daily Deal, a Community Choice, a Flash Deal, or anything that is 75%+ off.

LOL! I tried to pick up a gift copy of a region-locked game (I'm in the US and it isn't region locked here) and it wouldn't let me buy it - something was screwy over there for a while... Haven't checked to see if it's fixed now or not.

Age of Wonder 3 might get a 50% discount if it wins the community's vote. Does anyone know if GOG has plans to offer a similar discount for Age of Wonders 3 during this sale?

Yeah, check it out just in case.

And region locked games are quite a bother to say the least.

Found another nice game:

RC Cars - 1.24€

Funny Racer, worth a look if you like Re-Volt.

Let's hope so, but I've heard of such restrictions before. DRM sucks at so many levels...

Stooner: Ah, thanks!
Looks like it's Nosgoth and Dragon Ages...
That's really weird. I can't see Nosgoth and Dragon Age as well. The funny thing is that Dragon Age is not region locked here, you can buy both Origins and the Awakening expansion on Steam, but not the ultimate edition for some reason.

And i don't know what's up with Nosgoth, i managed to get into the closed beta, so i don't think it's region locked either.

cmdr_flashheart: Is Terraria really that fun to play?
I couldn't get into Terraria. I'm not into these infinite sandbox type of games, but i decided to give it a go anyway. It's a good game, but it's not really for me.

By the way, if you decide to get it, don't ever play it on a large world if you're playing solo like me. Set it to small. Playing a large world solo is boring as fuck.

I'm also not sure. But is the same deal with Bully. I got it from elsewhere and redeemed on Steam without a hitch.
The problem with DA: Ultimate is that the copies from outside are all Origin!..

Also, Max Payne 2 wasn't available here until recently... so I would guess is just laziness. ;p

AttObl: Hopefully I'll get some card drops when I get back home.

JMich: Additional info regarding cards.

Steam only cares about the filename of the executable, so if you are going to idle, you can safely replace the game's exe with notepad (remember to rename it first) so when Steam launches the game, notepad opens instead. You are still considered in game, but much less resources used.
I tried this trick, but I used DOSBox instead of Notepad.

Thank you!
