Does anyone know if I buy the BF3 premium edition would it upgrade my current BF3 account? I might be tempted to get all the DLC for 30 since I only have the Back to Karkand that came with my original.

Can you elaborate please?

Unfortunately from what I've read, Origin will see it as an entirely separate game. When you redownload it and login, all your stuff and stats will be there, but you will have to download the game again.

What he means is steam play not steamworks. If a game is a steam play game like duke nukem was. It is for both PC and Mac with one key. On steam the store page for the game will say if its a steamplay game or not.

Not all MAC OS games have STEAM-PLAY. In fact, a lot of the games I saw are not available on STEAM for MAC [Doom 3; COD 1,2,4; Quake 4; etc...]

I think the point was, just because the PC version is STEAM activatable, does not mean the MAC version is.

This made sense. Thanks.

Redownloading is not a problem (in fact it isn't even installed right now because I just did a new build a little while back), I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to unlock everything again. Thanks for the info.

Any update on the Max Payne 3 BF deal would be appreciated Tony. Thanks.

Can anyone confirm if the Sonic games are Steam redeemable?

OK. I caught up on the thread after a week or so away, and I'm confused about three things.

A: Will I be getting a credit for a purchase of the Prototype Pack bought during the Gamespot 2 hour sale? If so, do I need to be looking for an email about that? I haven't received one.

2: What is the source of that Windows 8 reaction shot gif? I swear I've seen that scene, but can't recall where.

And D: Why in the heck am I making this movie reference?

A) No (I also purchased during the 2 hour sale and haven't received one, but have for 2 other games which I bought recently; DLCs, actually, namely Saints Row: The Third Season Pass and Serious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile)

Hey guys,

Quick note, I'll be dropping the Rockstar/Take 2 updates sometime around 11/21.

Cheers,
Tony

Sonic CD, Sonic Generations, and Sonic 4 episodes 1 and 2 are.

Any chance the BiA and CoD games will get steam keys?

What is BiA? Our COD games are Steam versions.

Cheers,
Tony

Brothers in Arms and sorry didn't notice anything about steam on cod pages, thanks!

I also didn't notice they're only for mac?

@Tony Sorry for the insistance but there will be any Dead Island GOTY offer?

Thanks!
