Ah thanks got it.

1. No we don't
2. We will seek parity if we get a deal in place
3. I'll let you know if it looks like this is going to happen in the near future.

Cheers,

I think the "Steam account required for activation" should also remain in the specifications section along with a tag at the top. That way nobody can miss it.

Wasn't the first thing I noticed, but I really like the DRM near the top and easy to find. If you can't change font size, maybe a different color would help it stick out

Cool thanks dude, just answered.

Also, I wanted to make sure people who don't work at Amazon can see the DRM display on page.

Now, to hunt down this information for each game from all of our vendors.

Cheers,
Tony

@Tony
Any plans for Dark Souls PTD Edition (PC) hitting a sale any time soon...?

Thanks for the response. Get those Worms!

Are you going to list DRM for ALL Amazon DVG games?
Will DRM be listed for Non-Steam games at the top, too?

That's the gameplan. Wish me luck.

Geez....that's gonna take A LONG while to update the AMAZON DVG inventory for EVERY game you guys are selling, if you are going to actually go through w/ this...

All this talk about the 1c bundle is distracting Tony from his most important task of acquiring Final Fantasy 7 download rights. Pfft... we need to get our priorities back in place.

And who has a countdown clock to when Borderlands 2 comes out? I am looking forward to many lost nights of sleep.

I'd rather Tony convince Square Enix to port EVERY single FF game over to the PC -- FF1 up to FFXIII-2.

Edit: Didn't notice the DRM section until Randomdud pointed it out, but great addition! Now I will look for it if I know it is there.

Maybe, Tony should just add a Steam symbol next to the DRM label for "Steam", like so:

Can anyone find a smaller image link for me to embed?

I will chill as soon as you share whatever it is you've been smoking. What gives you the impression the movement is away from DRM? If anything, these competing PC client platforms are indicative of publishers' greater focus on their own DRM. These DRM-free offerings in the recent Amazon bundle sales, while nice, are not AAA titles.

Hooray, maybe soon there won't be six posts everytime I deal is revealed asking if it activates on Steam!

I just want to know if any Amazon DVG game activates up on Beamdog. [shrug]

Originally Posted by MysterD Adding a Non-Steam Game is an important feature, IMHO. It lets other gamers and Friends KNOW what you're playing on Steam - even if you are not playing a Steam-version game. That's the point of it. Examples: --If you say bought Borderlands from Steam, yet I own it from Retail. If I add my Non-Steam Borderlands to Steam and you bought it from Steam and you're my Friends - well, we can contact each other and get ourselves on GameSpy (since BL uses that for middleware for MP-play) and get playing together! --Do you think people are using Origin for its Community? I know I don't! If I don't need to run Origin to run a game, it ain't open! Maybe I'm playing some off-the-wall game I bought from Gamersgate like White Gold or The Precursors. Maybe, a Friend contacts me and is curious "Hey, Derick - what the hell is this game you're playing?" Exactly. I just FORCE my games to be installed to a folder named AFTER what service the game forces or where I bought the game from. EASY to keep track of. I don't do that for Steam games, though - though, it might change, w/ the new workaround going around in the new Steam Beta. 100% agreed. PC gaming has never died or even come close to collapse. PC gaming lost NPD sales at retail b/c Steam and other digital sales rose. Now, it's pretty much digital running the show of where to buy PC games. I hardly see any PC games at my local B&M GameStop. B&M Best Buy - sure, they have a few racks of PC games, but nowhere like they USED to, a few years back. I go where the prices go, normally. If say Gamersgate is selling a game cheaper, they're going to get my money. GOG is hard to resist, b/c of their DRM-FREE nature and often b/c of the extra they throw in - especially during 50% off or better sales. Often, I wind-up trying to buy a version of a game w/ the least amount of DRM around it, as well.

You had me at nude mods.
