Neither will Steam activate, no. If a game does activate on Steam Gamersgate will specifically state it.

I'm not sure what the other DRM is if it's some sort of account activation or securom or whatever but it's definitely not Steamworks.

New Deals:

Bioshock Complete Pack Bundle $10 - 75%
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale $5.99 - 70%
Dark Messiah Might & Magic $3.38 - 66%
Deus Ex: Human Revolution$7.49 - 75%

Tomorrow hints:
Tomorrow we´re going to space with our pockets filled with Interstellar Kredit! After that, off to the beautiful island of Faranga for some temple ruin sightseeing (monster slaying included!), and last but not least: some classic D&D dungeon crawling!

Also deal of interest:
Warlock: Master of the Arcane $4.99 - 75% (Steamworks) Very Tempting

Can someone explain why the OP title says Orcs Must Die 2 and Awesomenauts are $5.66?

Not directly relevant to the sale but it's worth noting that if you're a Steam head, you might miss some cool as hell indie games on GG. I recommend Gunman Clive, Exceed 3rd, and Suguri.

Honestly, why do you need these on Steam? Titan Quest Gold will never be updated again. Wanderlust Rebirth has its own launcher for updating that you have to run anyway. Neither has cloud saves. Both can be launched in Steam as non-Steam games, which is what I do. The only reason I can possibly see is Wanderlust has some achievements.

Well it was Warlock as the daily deal instead when it first switched over this morning. Guess they are starting to further discount games during the sale. They're good about this stuff when it comes to refunds, but it's still unnecessary headaches for customers and support reps. Removed my buying tip from the FAQ.

It doesn't/didn't say Orcs Must Die 2 is that price? I changed the order now to put Awesomenauts first to avoid any confusion, but each game title is separated by a comma so I thought that was self-explanatory. And the OP clearly explains how you can get Awesomenauts for that price.

The reason I put the Awesomenauts price in the title is because it's a very popular game and just released, and I think a lot of people would want to know it's almost half off here.

i did some searching and the third daily deal hint is probably referring to daggerdale, which isn't nearly old or good enough to be called a classic

none of the actual classic d&d games seem to be on GG

I could've sworn they stocked those recent D&D anthologies at some point. Now I did a little research, and you can't seem to buy them anywhere...odd..

Gamersgate UK has Sacred 2: Gold Edition for 5.08 GBP.

That's like $8 USD or so, right?

As some of you might know - Sacred 2: Gold contains also the S2: Ice and Blood expansion, which was NOT released in USA
....besides also containing Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (UK) in the pack.

Has anybody here in USA ever actually bought a game through Gamersgate UK?
Will it go through?
If so - does your CC or bank charge you a conversion fee of any kind?

How's it work?

Just sent a support ticket asking the same question. Will post when I get reply. If anyone here knows if buying the game from the UK store will work on US account, post here please. Thx!

Hmm, I'm kind of interested because it doesn't look like Sacred 2 will ever come back to Steam. I'm just curious because I don't know if GG can legally sell a UK region game to US customers since I believe a different publisher owns the rights to that game here and it would be encroaching on their territory.

@Voken
I'm curious, b/c USA users can sign into UK servers and see the S2: Gold game for purchase in GBP.
And even put it in their cart!!

Plz let us know when you do get some details, thanks!!!

Deep Silver is the publisher in UK for everything Sacred 2, yes.
I'm also curious - can a UK gamer on Gamersgate actually GIFT Sacred 2: Gold over to a USA Gamersgate user?

EDIT:
Technically, CDV is out of business and insolvent (USA's Sacred 2 distribution rights holders).
Would their territory (USA) really be encroached upon here? :oP

I don't think CDV will supply Steam w/ new Sacred 2: FA keys anytime soon.
Even if they did, you'll still have the issue of NA versions missing Ice and Blood - since CDV & Deep Silver never hammered out a deal for how to distribute that expansion in NA.
Plus, only way to use Community Patch is to own both Sacred 2: FA + Ice and Blood; or Sacred 2: Gold (contains both).

EDIT 2:
Looks like they ran out of keys and supposedly requested for more...

Atari no longer has D&D's rights, it has shifted to Hasbro so a new agreement would need to be made. I know Gamestop has the old D&D games still. Personally I am waiting for the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition anyways.

Probably asked a bunch of times before, but do I need to have access to IGN prime to continue to have access to the 15% discount? Could I just sign up, grab the code, and cancel the account so I won't have to worry about recurring bill?

Yes, you could. However, they don't do free trials anymore. They'll charge you right away, and they don't do refunds.

Thanks for the info. For some reason payment is taking awhile to process through PayPal...only have 9 mins left for current deals.

He is correct. You don't need to keep your IGN prime for more than a month, but you will have to pay for it. For anything giftable on GG I am more than happy to help out any CAGs without the discount, so feel free to PM me.

Something interesting I found out about US/UK versions on GamersGate while hosting the giveaway... I found that the 2C Complete Pack that I bought actually gave me copies of games that could only be purchased individually in the UK. I was able to gift to everyone regardless of their region, or the region of the game I was gifting. Maybe that can offer some insight.

Maybe I should said this earlier, but I've been able to successfully buy from the UK site as well. Not sure if it was legal, but dammit I did it.

Don't judge me!

Ah, fair enough. Just glad to know I'm not losing my mind...
