Hi CAGs,

I'm also here to answer questions you might have, get you closer to the developers by hosting Q&As, setting up podcasts, live streaming gameplay etc. If I don't respond to a question you have in thread please send me a PM. These ping my email address and make it more likely that I will see your question and respond more quickly.

FYI. EA Games sold by Amazon will not activate on Steam.

F.A.Q.S.:

1. Does the game I'm buying from Amazon Activate on Steam/Origin/Uplay? What DRM does the game use?

There are two places to identify DRM on a digital video game detail page:

At the top of the page, below the title:

16hm7a8.png


In the "Product Description" section:

r06ykl.jpg


2. Note on Electronic Arts Games - For the most part, EA games sold on Amazon do not activate on Steam. Most activate on Origin.

3. Note on DRM with limited activations:

Our Policy



4. Sometimes I'll do giveaways.

5. I work with developers and publishers to get fun (or at least what I think is fun) content to share with you all. Here are some examples:

a. Check out the Pax Gameplay videos here: Xcom: Enemy Unknown I played Xcom with Jake, the Creative Director for the game, a few months before the game came out Also, on this page, check out the Q&A, also a community driven event.

b. Check out the interview on this page: Borderlands 2 we did this interview at E3 with Randy Pitchford this year.

c. We've partnered with the ++GoodGames Podcast to feature many of the games we carry. They talk to the developers about the game development process, how the games are conceptualized and managed, all kinds of fun stuff. I'm working on putting together full link list and will update when I have it.

What else do we sell?

Xbox Live Points and Subscriptions:

1600 Microsoft Live Points
4000 Microsoft Live Points
12 Month XBOX Live Subscription
3 Month XBOX Live Subscription]
12 Month + 1 XBOX Live Subscription

PSN+ Subscriptions and PSN Points:

$20 PSN Points
$50 PSN Points
12 Month PSN+ Subscription
3 Month PSN+ Subscription

We also have a Free-2-Play store supported by our GameConnect technology. Gameconnect allows you to link your Amazon.com account with free-2-play and MMO accounts so that you can buy things like in game currency, premium game time/subscriptions, in game items, etc. on Amazon.com using your Amazon.com payment options and have this content delivered directly into your game.

[quote name='FrankTheTank3388']In case any one is wondering, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic registers on Steam with the CD Key they give you.[/QUOTE]
At Retail, YES.
I have the CE Retail Box, actually.

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic was one of the weird ones at Retail - here's why.

The SP from Retail didn't require Steam (you could use the disc-check), but you could also activate the SP portion on Steam, if you chose to.
It's up to you if you bought it from Retail, for some reason.

The MP absolutely does require Steam PERIOD.
BTW - does anyone play Dark Messiah's MP anymore? :whistle2:X

I have no idea if Dark Messiah of Might & Magic actually got a DRM-FREE release anywhere, though.
If it did get DRM-FREE, it's probably be for the SP portion, I'd guess.
MP portion uses Steamworks period...unless they re-released it and tossed in some other middleware (like GameSpy), added LAN support, or something.

Quoting this so (hopefully) we don't get another million questions on "will this activate on steam?".

Also, if it's not on this list, it's not steam activatable.

Let's see... of the sales there...

X-COM: retail multiplat will be $25.
Civ 5: Combo Pack is... basically what Civ 5 GOTY and Gods and Kings currently costs? cool that Korea and Wonders are both on sale though, with them i can round out the DLC after i get G&K. just weird. not as weird as G&K getting such a drastic mark up though. man, had i known it was going to be this way i would've jumped on it last night.
Bioshock: ....Now correct me if I'm wrong here but uhhh... Bioshock Dual Pack: $4.99 vs. Bioshock 1 and 2 individually costing $5. ...unless how i define "dual pack" is mistaken and it's not either A) 2 copies of the game or B) both games (i'm assuming it's B) then... what?
Max Payne 3: ....game + season pass, $20. game alone, $30. season pass alone, $15. ......what?

this isn't quite making sense.

Good questions on the odd bundle vs. composite pricing. We've done this in the past (bioshock 1 and 2 were $10 a la carte during the last sale where the dual pack was $7.49.

As for Civ V Gods and Kings, remember, the current $7.49 price point is for the Mac version, which was ported by ASPYR, the fact that it is Steamplay is a coincidence.

EDIT: The explanation here is that sometimes we're able to get more aggressive bundle pricing approved than a la carte.

Cheers,
Tony
 
...Ah. Man, talk about a lucky break for us then. >_>; Assuming that more keys get brought in anyway. At the pace this goes there may be more sales for the expansion than there are of the game on that system.

Completely understand from your point of view and dealing with publishers. I'm also a bad test case/example because I have extremely picky/eclectic tastes in games coupled with the patience of Job in terms of getting things at a given price point. That said I can certainly recognize something like the Sega bundle for $20 is a great price it's just that as I'm only interested in Hell Yeah and Viking it just isn't worth it to me. I could try to sell off individual game keys I don't want but usually there's quite a few floating around during the holidays (from others who have bought the pack) and it ends up being more hassle than its worth.

But again, objectively speaking pretty much all of the deals/packs you've posted are crazy good prices.

The thing is - you'll BARELY sell a copy of Max Payne 3 (base game) for $30...unless someone accidentally bought the base game (instead of the bundle); OR didn't notice the much-better priced Max Payne 3: Complete Bundle for $20.
Just about everybody in their right mind is going to buy the Max Payne 3 Complete Bundle for $20!
Even having Max Payne 3 (base game) or Max Payne 3: Complete Bundle for $20 makes more sense to me. Some people might be only buying the game just for the SP, since all the Season Pass stuff has so far only been MP-based.
 
could i interest anyone in a hitman sniper challenge key in exchange for a sonic 4 ep1 or ep2 key?

let me know in pm, logging for now

The comments on the individual packs suggest that a gamepad is best but not required and they do not require/do not activate on Steam. And reports say they work on 7.
 
[quote name='phogoodness']any opinions on the 50 sega classics for $5? do these work on win7? need a controller? steam?[/QUOTE]
Works on Win 7.

DRM-FREE, not Steam.

On another note - I already owned one Sega Genesis Classic game that comes w/ the program (emulator) that houses these games on Steam (Virtua Fighter 2: Genesis Version) already, since some gifted it to me. Steam treats each game as DLC, actually - look on DLC Section, if you do already own a Sega Genesis Classic on Steam. Accidentally, I did install these Amazon DVG DRM-FREE games into the Steam folder and it worked - so I installed the rest in there, as well! :whistle2:x

You're playing many CONSOLE-style games - yes, I'd use a controller for many of these games; especially the action-esque ones. Think like Streets of Rage series, Shinobi series, and Eternal Champions. Yup, recognizes X360 controller in the Sega Genesis Classics Program (emulator) that houses all these games, as well.

Thinking of turn-based RPG games more like Shining Force series or Phantasy Star series - you might get away w/ KB/mouse. I didn't try it, though - since I'm used to those games w/ a controller, back from my Genesis console-gaming days. I'm used to my X360 controller.
 
[quote name='phogoodness']any opinions on the 50 sega classics for $5? do these work on win7? need a controller? steam?[/QUOTE]

There are some terrific games in the bundle, especially if you've played a few of them and a bit of nostalgia kicks in. Most of them hold up pretty well and there are a few true gems. They do work on Win 7, you don't need a controller but it helps, and they do not activate on Steam.

This bundle is actually better than the one on Steam because those force you to buy each Sonic game separately from the packs.

I think that's the point of it. You drive up the sales of the bundle by channeling as many sales into it as you can. So even the people who just want the base game will choose the cheaper bundle. People who only want the season pass may still just choose the bundle to sell off the base game. End game is to have your bundle sales through the roof.

I never owned a Sega console growing up, would anyone recommend getting this bundle if I never played any of the games before. Also, since we on the subject of sega classic games which Sonic games should I get, I have yet to play a single one.

Right!

If you install a Steam Genesis Classics Game first that you bought through Steam directly or got gifted to you directly from Steam - when you do the Amazon DVG Version installs of this, it actually LOOKS for where you first installed the Emulator (when you installed the Steam version) -- it'll automatically want to install your Genesis Classics Games where you have the Steam version located!

{Since Amazon DVG's version is DRM-FREE - you can always tell it to install elsewhere away from Steam, as well; I have them set both in my Steam path; and my regular Amazon DVG install path [Non-Steam].
This stuff is old and DOES NOT take up much HDD space, BTW - around 102 MB.}

Keep in mind - you'll still have to download the Genesis packs from Amazon DVG (which by default download onto your Desktop); and then run each of the 5 installers to install all 50 games.
 
So if you launch the emulator through steam, you can play any & all of the other games besides Virtua Fighter 2 (which you already had)?
