[quote name='MysterD']No.
UbiSoft games use U-Play, their own homebrew DRM and service.
You could always add it as a Non-Steam game through Steam and get...very few Steam benefits [see your Friends list on Steam; take screenshots].
If you want an UbiSoft game to activate and have full-fledged Steam-support [time-played tracking, updates, Friends List, utility back-up, and other stuff via Steam], you'll have to get it through Steam.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for this info. Does the Steam version also have the U-Play bullshit? If not, I'll wait on a Steam sale. If so, then well, I guess I won't buy the game.

Wow this past month I have been spending so much money on Amazon

Hey Tony, any chance BF3 or the Fallout games will go on sale somewhat soon? Not sure if I missed a past deal.

Of course the STEAM version has UPlay, it's a Ubisoft game and it's UbiSoft's DRM. Similar to Medal of Honor [EA] on STEAM has Securom, BulletStorm [EA] on STEAM has GamesForWIndowsLive, and Risen [Deepsilver] on STEAM has T@GES.
Whenever a game has an "across the board" drm, it is always included with the STEAM version.

Thankfully Deepsilver has seen the light. Risen 2 is Steamworks.

Hey Tony,

No chance that you can match the current price of over at Microsoft for $19.99? Thanks anyway for even replying, i've been playing Payday all weekend.

So wait a sec. I bought Velvet Assassin because it's on the list of games that activate on Steam and one of the reviews said that Steam was required (while whining about it.)

And now it turns out we don't get a key? Dammit, this is the second time I've gotten that game without a key!

If they really saw the light, the game wouldn't have any drm at all. Just like the Amazon version of the first Risen.

Yeah, this was entirely my fault and I am not blaming anyone but myself. The Amazon rep didn't know and neither did I. Oh well, at least it was a buck.

Motoki · Feb 26, 2012

Risen wasn't released DRM free, that's a recent thing where the publisher has removed it. Supposedly they submitted it to Valve as well and Valve just needs to get around to updating it. Wheels turning and all that.

On Steamworks vs no DRM I prefer Steamworks. I want all my games on Steam but Steamworks gives me more freedom in where I can buy them and still register on Steam. I understand some people want no DRM and I certainly see that point too.

Either is preferable to more intrusive and limiting DRM like Securom or TAGES.

wait.. you got upset b/c your game is DRM-free? no cd key which means it is DRM free, you can install it as many time as you want, play offline and online. Why is this a bad thing? :roll:

I already owned the game, DRM free, on GamersGate. I didn't need a second DRM free copy that might take ages to download from wherever I am. I can just log into Steam on any computer, download the game there, and boop, done.

Some of us don't care about Steam being DRM because it means we can install our games whenever and wherever we want, as long as it's allowed.

TL;DR: I paid $1 and change in order to have a convenient second copy of the game available to me whenever I wanted. I didn't get it, and it was my fault for not making sure I'd be getting a Steam key. I blame no one but myself.

Hey there, sorry about your issue with Velvet Assassin

. It sounds like you're not too miffed about it, which I appreciate it. In relation to you comments above, I have a question, and want to make sure I can add clarity where it seems there is confusion.

Regarding this statement:

"Some of us don't care about Steam being DRM because it means we can install our games whenever and wherever we want, as long as it's allowed.

TL;DR: I paid $1 and change in order to have a convenient second copy of the game available to me whenever I wanted."

Is it your understanding that you can't download this game wherever and whenever you want?

You can access your Amazon account in the same way you access your Steam account (via the internet) and download this game whenever/wherever you'd like.

If my understanding of your issue is incorrect, let me know, and I apologize for being dense.

I get the value prop related to achievements, etc. but it sounds like your concern is with ease of installation.

Cheers,
Tony

I think what he's referring to are some of the Steam benefits.

About installing, Steam basically downloads it and does it for you straight into game folder. Origin works the same way. You only need to keep enough open to DL the game - as it's all streamlined, w/ these two programs.
Amazon DL [your service], you'll be given the installer files - and then you have to run the installer to have the game install it somewhere. So, you at least need double the amount of space of the game's size left open.
And since Amazon DL now forces DL's to Desktop, you might later want to copy the installers elsewhere for back-up - so, you might want triple the amount of space of the game's size left open!

Steam has built-in auto-updating, as well. With Steam, you really don't have to worry about looking for updates/patches on other sites and stuff, which is what you'd do in the old days or w/ most games that don't use Steam. Steam does it all for you.

Steam has a built-in back-up utility, as well - so you can back-up your game in its most recent state [that you had it in] to another HDD, DVD discs, BR disc, whatever.

Steam usually doesn't have other DRM, either. Most Steam games, they stick w/ Steam's DRM. Steam's DRM is built normally for you and your account ONLY - that's it; it doesn't care how many computers you got the game installed in and whatnot; it only cares that you are on your own unique account. W/ Steam DRM, there's no silly install limits, Black lists of other programs, drivers, or other stupidness - unless, the 3rd party company imposes ALSO other DRM schemes.

Yeah I totally get all of the other benefits you reference above. That's why I was confused by his reference to "installing anywhere anytime"...none of the things you reference up there have anything to do with where and when you can install your game...they definitely relate to how it is delivered and what you can do once playing it.

We were talking about a DRM free game, maybe I'm totally missing something but, because it is DRM free there's no difference between Amazon in steam regarding where and when you can install it.

Am I missing something?

Steam forces ALL their games installed into the Steam folder.

With Amazon DL, this usually depends on game company and what they provided you guys for installers - you can specify normally where games install.

EDIT:
Since we [consumers] do buy Steam games from you, it's often best just to take the key you provide us and download/install via Steam. Same goes for Origin, as well.
Origin and Steam do the download and install all together in ONE STEP, all streamlined.
There's really NO benefit to download a Steam or Origin game from you guys [where you force installers to Desktop] and then install it...again, double the game's size space must be open.
Less headaches and less overhead b/c their install processes are so streamlined.

Also, back-ups are easier w/ Origin and Steam - b/c we can have those in the most recent patched-state [from time of when you're doing back-up, obviously].
Steam, you either back-up the game folder or use back-up utility [to back it up in most recent state].
Origin, your game folder IS YOUR back-up - copy that, b/c installer folder/files are within it.

Minor nit for Origin, but this may only be true of BF3 and titles released after it (if at all). I know for certain that my older Origin games basically download the contents of the disk and run the normal installer.

Most recent Origin titles you download that are published by EA, you can just check your game-folder where the game is installed.
See if there's an _INSTALLER folder within the main game-folder.

If yes, all you need to do is back-up the entire game folder somewhere, for back-up purposes [to DVD's, BR, another HDD, etc].

If no [i.e. say you bought Batman: Arkham City through Origin], check to see where you told the game to keep the installers in your Origin preferences [provided you already have it set for Origin to keep them, of course].
If so, that's where your installers are at.
That'll be what you want to back-up somewhere.

This is speaking from first-hand experience.

Did people who have Steam copy take the Steam-key and activate it on Origin?
If that Steam-key can activate up on Origin and you can DL the Origin version, that'd probably be a good start...

Right click on the Mirror's Edge game [or any Steam-version game, for that matter, that might have another key].
See if there's an option for Game Key.
If so, there you go.

Take that, jump on your Origin account, try and activate it.

If there's no option to look at CD Key....bleh.

WTH is Marmite? Is this, since you ask:

For the record, I'm a "no" person on Marmite. You didn't ask, but if you did that'd be my answer

Back to The Guild II, I think I'll hold it in my inventory until I have a strong feeling about it. I want to like it, I'm just not sure if I will.

[quote name='Larce80']I looked around and even tried to find it in the registry. Steam Mirrors edge DOES NOT have a key! Only people that were successful were those who talked to EA chat and got them to activate the game for them after showing that they own the game on steam...[/QUOTE]

I don't agree with you. I've bought Mirrors Edge via Steam like 1-2 years ago and found CD-Key in the registry and activated this game on Origin successfully.

you know tony, one of the main reasons i use and trust amazon over other sources (aside from the great prices) is the value i place on user reviews. when i purchase a product, even retail, i check for that product on amazon and make my purchase decision on the reviews. I recently got a cell phone, and i told the guy at the store - show me this phone on amazon - he did, and it had 300 reviewers giving it an average of 4 out of 5 stars. an easy choice for me.

if it ever comes up in your meetings, i think i'm not the only one who places such a high value on user reviews, so don't think i'm bashing the service at all - but one thing i would really like to see is some indicator on if the reviewer has actually purchased that item through amazon instead of just writing a review. With product manufacturers investing money in having keyword heavy reviews farmed out, perhaps a cyan background or star rating from customers who actually purchased the game/product would be an extra level of 'trust' that amazon provides.

it may not be a big deal, but just like google's search results are turning to shit, i'd hate to see amazon's amazing review service become worthless through an over saturation of paid product reviews, which have no value to me at all.
