Any chance for Mafia 1 sale? And are the current Amazon keys limited? :|

Where does it say on the amazon page if the game comes with a steam key or not? I cant find the yellow circle anywhere on any games anymore.

Ancient Chinese secret.

Anyone else got a 2k Coupon they aren't going to use?

Well, it says either on top, bottom, middle, or system requirement box.

So yeh, just CTRL+F and type "steam"

Usually found right above or below the System Requirments box:

Example - Saints Row the Third:



Example - Scribblenauts:

I believe the promo coupons are tied to accounts and not transferable.

There is no standard, they just put it anywhere in the item description.

The only way to be certain you find it or not is to do a text search of "steam" on the item's page.

TONY, I bought the 2k mega pack cause you said it all activated on steam, but Bioshock 1, Civ IV, and the stronghold collection didn't come with activation codes, and Bioshock 2's code doesnt work at all. WTH man?


Anyone else have this issue with this bundle?

Yes. I know this.

Would have someone buy it, I'd send them money via paypal. They'd give keys.

Thank you, all. Seems like they would make that information a little more accessible.

I'm sure this has already been asked, but do the $5 credits for January stack or is it a -$5 per order with multiple orders type deal?

Easiest way to see if a game needs Steam on Amazon's page is to hit cntrl+f and type in steam

I believe they are trying their best to standardize it now. On newer games like BL2 at the top they have:

Borderlands 2
by 2K Games
Rated: Mature | DRM: Steam

So it's the item's name, pub, rating and DRM are the first four things you read.

Older games though, this standard isn't there yet. They may edit them eventually, or maybe never edit them at all. (Assuming it's even a new standard anyway.)

Just trying to clarify.

Only way to really be certain is CTRL+F "Steam"

"Qualifying codes for this promotion may only be used one at a time."

That's what the item descriptions say for every qualifying game, and the emails say with every purchase.

I'm not sure this has ever been clarified.

Sunasun, I hope you were just being facetious. It's on the page of every item that qualifies for the promo. And in every email post-purchase.

You can read it before you buy, and after you buy.

"Qualifying credits for this promotion may only be used one at a time."

Not to sound ungrateful, but doesn't that make the promotion a bit silly then, considering nearly all of the games for January would have been cheaper during the winter sale than taking $5 off their full price?

I assumed they wouldn't stack .. but $5 credit sounds different than $5 off your order ... just seems sort of counter-intuitive if something is currently $10 or $15 off right now.
