It works like this:
you have 10 (more or less) allowed installation, if you happen to format without deactivating the license on that machine you've permanently lost that licence (and you still have 9 of them, of course), Bioshock was like that for example.

more games with that protection here:

That's shitty. I might actually have one game with it then since I have the non-Steam version of Bioshock (but I won't ever download it since I now have it on Steam).

Whoot. I have a copy of the new DRM-FREE Sacred 2 Gold in my library.

Dead Space 1+2 is tempting at $6 even through I'm not that into FPS or horror. The cheapeast they've been on steam is $5 each (or $10 for both). GG & Amazon have a policy of issuing new keys if you run out of activations.

King Arthur Complete is $6 w/20%. KA1 (steam) + DLC. KA2 (DRM-FREE) + DLC).

Tractor Battle 2012 Agricultural Simulator 2012 is ~$5.30 w/20%. DRM:Other

Agricultural Simulator 2012 review
By Fragr92_ posted 24th October 2012
A few things you need to know when considerng buying this game.

There are some differences in oppinions wether the Farming Simulator franchise or Agricultural Simulator franchise has the best game. This means that there will be a lot of people trying to throw crap at both of the games. So i thought i'd do something different and list a few things that i've noticed being "better" or "worse" and i will leave it up to you, the reader, to decide which one sounds like it will suit your wishes the best.

(Keep in mind that this review is written before Farming Simulator 2013 is released)

Starting off with the good stuff.

"Pros" over Farming Simulator:

*More Overall vehicles and implements

*Larger map with more fields

*Better graphics (Not necessarily a good point, will elaborate in "cons" section)

*More types of grains

*More animals available for breeding

*More "realistic" (For Example, when driving on a field your tractor will shake as if driving on an uneven surface, vehicles will leave tracks, implements will mark the ground depending on which way they are pulled,animals have to be manually taken care of, etc)

*A bit more complex

*Better Vehicle detail

*Slightly better Physics Engine (In my Oppinion)

"Cons" from Farming Simulator:

*Graphics engine unreasonably demanding (While it has better graphics you will need an absolute beast of a computer to run it properly. Preferrably one from the future. Example: My current computer can max out Crysis and BF3 at around 40-50fps. From this game i can sometimes get as low as 10fps.And that's with most things close to their lowest settings.)

*Harder to master (I like to say that this game is more of a farming "Simulator" and Farming Simulator is more of a farming "Game")

*Sub-par support team (When adressing more serious issues with the developers they usually do everything they can to not have to solve your problems. Example: Many people complain about FPS issues, to which the devs reply "Try lowering your graphics settings" or "It doesn't matter since the human eye can't see more than 20fps anyway" the majority of the time. Furthermore they don't speak english very well and utterly refuse to do anything to change that. So if you buy the game and it ends up not working, good luck getting it fixed.)

*Hard to find Tutorial Section (To access tutorials you have to press F1, which is of course never mentioned anywhere)

*"Sliding" implements (A minority of implements are known to sort of "Slide" around on the ground, meaning if you detach them from your tractor outside your garage you might end up losing them)

There are many more things i could add to both the "Pros" and "Cons" sections but this review is already getting a bit too long.

Hopefully this has helped you to decide wether to buy the game or not. If you are new to the farm sim genre and want my oppinion on what to get i would advice you to get Farming Simulator 2011 first and then get Agricultural Simulator 2012 later once you've learned how farming games work.

Thanks for your time.

That King Arthur bundle is pretty good, but I'll wait for amazon on that.

Actually, DS2 was free last year during the Amazon EC promotion.

I think it's another one of those US-only prices.

That doesn't work folks outside of the states. You can experience this by trying to search gamersgate.co.uk. (Sacred 2 Gold used to only be on the UK side of GG. Neverwinter Nights 2 Platinum Edition currently is only available on the UK side -- try to find it.) The international comments are quite interesting as it can get quite specific. I remember one super deal that was only available to one bloke in Singapore. One of the really interesting comments came from a guy Puerto Rico (odd ball legal status, US Territory -- laws treat them as both US and non-US).

Yea sorry I was on my phone and made a quick reply. I wasn't aware GG hid games from certain regions.

If it doesn't say Steam then it does not activate on Steam. GG is one of the few places that sells non-steam versions of Paradox games.

Amazon won't match internationally and GMG doesn't match.

as long as it's drm free, I don't see any problem. You can "decrypt" the installer and keep it on your hdd/usb
