The download is not a problem, however not sure if activation on GFWL is (which leads to the question how GFWL checks your region? Is it only for activation or every time when playing..IP address would mean you can't play while traveling outside the US....Any experts on this?)

I wasn't thinking about a refound or anything, I just wanted to know If the game can be played without GFWL. My bad, I didn't express myself right

I'm thinking forward, because Batman AC is region locked for me on Steam, and I really want that game (when it come on sale, of course), so I believed if Bulletstorm could work, then other games too

It looks like some parts of Spring sale has started, e.g Mass effect 3, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064TYOLW/

50 bucks

Yeah... I was holding out to see how much it would cost, but I'll just buy it from intkeys for $36ish now. Thanks anyways, Tony .

We are likely matching someone on that as the spring sale hasn't started yet. Although, $39.99 (Amalur) and $49.99 (mass effect 3) is where we will be.

Cheers,
Tony

Scratches is a great game. The extra short chapter from the Director's Cut is kinda goofy though. Overall it is a solid adventure-mystery.

Scratches will be in the sale but since it is Meridian4 we're structuring their sale differently because of their catalogue containing so much core/casual stuff. Excluding the Arma series everything from Meridian4 that is normally more than $10 will be $4.99 everything that is normally $9.99 or less will be $3.99 (so Scratches) and the Arma series will be $9.99.

Which Warhammer RTS is the best deal if you don't have any.

/me stands on my soapbox.

Just a note. The company you mentioned is basically exploiting poor regions of the world where piracy is so rampant that the only way distributors can make money is by making their games extremely cheap. I know the prices are better but most of your dollar isn't going to the developers or the publisher. It is going to people who just scan the code in another region and send it to you. There is always a risk of the code not working as anticipated or being revoked later.

If your conscious is alright with that then all of this was a pointless post but I wanted to make sure that those who saw that could make an informed decision.

/me steps off my soap box

Tony, do you know when your sale on Crusader Kings II will begin?

This is what I'm really interested in, would also like to know if you're allowed to tell us.

Hey there,

Sorry for the delay on this, I'm still putting together the full list and finalizing end date. I should have an announcement here tomorrow.

Cheers,
Tony

GFWL only support 35 countries and that sucks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_f...%E2%80%93_Live

What sucks more is that if you were in an unsupported country the GFWL key would register but lock itself to your account and "after" that it tells you your region is not supported ! lol

The solution is really simple though : Use a supported country in your GFWL account info

It is really funny coz Dirt 3 and Batman AC are bundled with Graphics Cards that are sold worldwide and me myself got both on my Steam account and they work just fine because my GFWL account has USA, but I know friends who bought graphics cards and the games were rendered useless after registering the keys !

I don't understand how people outside of GFWL regions are buying stuff from Amazon DD. GFWL supports the US region which is the only region that Amazon DD is supposed to be selling to.

Do they really not IP block and let people just use fako addresses? There are always ways around things but I would have thought Amazon would be putting more secure checks on things like that.

Also, announcing that you are buying from the Amazon DD store and outside of their region (ie violating their terms of service) on a thread with the Amazon rep is probably not the smartest thing to do.

Likewise announcing that you are buying black/grey market keys from some offshore site using Russian keys and violating Valve and EA's terms of service is also probably also not the smartest thing to do.

I have some GFWL games and work like a charm. My doubt is because Bulletstorm does not appears on Steam to me (I'm not on US RIGH NOW, and I can't remember what region I set my GFWL back then ).

What if I'm travelling or working for a period of time on another region outside US? Or if I created the GFWL being outside US?

Why you don't ask me about the case intead asuming whatever your head can assume?. As I stated, I'm sometimes in the US but most of the time don't. I got a LEGAL address there to bill my card. I'm a loyal Amazon customer from YEARS ago. So, please be YOU the smart one and stop making asumptions based on NOTHING.

With that you go way out of the line. Show me where I say I did that.

Just take a look at my steam library and tell me if I need to create a "fake account", a "fake address", or something just to buy games. And that's just Steam. I also got games on GOG, Amazon and Origin. And A LOT of hardcopies bought from Amazon, even from the time Shogo, Blood 2, Betrayal in Antara and such were brand new.

It's the second time people on this forum offends me just for asking a simple question... I don't need this, I'm very polite with everyone here, I deserve a little respect I think. I'll close my account here. Bye

It was a question and not directly specifically at one person since others mentioned the GWFL thing.

I don't think it is out of line to have pause when people are supposed to be buying from the US region and then complain that another service is not allowing them to play their game because they are not in the US region.

As for the comment about the black/grey market Russian keys, that was not directed at you. Again I didn't mention your name specifically so if what I say doesn't apply to you then you can disregard it.

If you offend so easily that you wish to leave that is your choice.

If I say: "Oh, I like the orange color", and someone next to me say "I can't understand why people like orange color, they are all idiots". What should I think?

I make a question about GFWL and region locking, you respond about GFWL and region locking immediately. It was obvious you were refering to me, who else then?. It's so easy to throw a rock and hiding the hand, and I'm too old for that

Not all GFWL games are region locked which is really weird. Batman Arkham Asylum and Dirt 2 for example are GFWL but available for me in Steam and not locked !

I live in Egypt and travel to USA every year or so to my brother and have a valid address there which is also used for "physical" items purchased from Amazon so when I use this address for Digital Downloads, my conscience is perfectly rested

On the other hand there are some Steam games like Dead Island which needs a US IP to activate. First I wanted to get it from Amazon when there is a good deal but after knowing about and when I knew about it being region locked I got it from a Steam trade Region Free (RoW) which means : Rest Of World

Just curious for those who own Space Marine, do you play multiplayer with k/m or with a gamepad?

I have SM on Xbox so i try to justify on getting SM for PC or not. Thanks
