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:

In the "Product Description" section:

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.

Additional thread notes:

1. Please do not flame other forum members in thread, regardless of what you are responding to. If you feel the need to shoot back an inflammatory response PM myself or the Mods to handle the conversation.

2. We do not match international retailers (GMG, GOG, GG, GetGamesGo, etc.) nor do we match boxed products.

3. Prices generally flip between 12:30-1AM PST on the first day of the planned sale.

4. Complaints regarding the quality of deals:

If you are unhappy with the quality of a given deal, do not post feedback that is not actionable. This negativity invites response by those who may have previously requested the deal you are commenting on. If you would like to leave feedback on the quality of a deal please structure it as 'I am not interested in this deal but I would be at $xx.xx'.

Please do not expect a response, from Tony or others in the thread to such complaints, these discussions tend to immediately derail the thread for pages.

Lastly, if you see a complaint and you'd like to respond to it, please do not, these conversations have proven unproductive and thread derailing. NOTE THIS RULE HAS BEEN CREATED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MODERATION TEAM.

This list will continue to grow.

Will Amazon offer a Borderlands 2 Season Pass deal?

yay, new thread. Sadly nothing this week. You got enough of my money two weeks ago though

Where did all the pages go.. Anyway, thanks for continuing the awesome deals. My friends and I are looking forward to Borderlands 2 which we got in a four pack from Amazon. Thanks!

Maybe a deal on Sleeping Dogs or Darksiders 2 somewhat soon?

Dragonsbane · Sep 16, 2012

Noooo... ghost page! I love/hate that feeling where I read an entire page of posts, then notice that I'm on the 2nd to last page and click the ghost page, then start re-reading the posts again with a sickening feeling of deja vu in my head....

dkl415 · Sep 16, 2012

Nice price on Walking Dead.

I know it went that low during Steam's Summer Sale. Any reasonable speculation if the price will drop further any time soon?

Two episodes have yet to come out, so I'm guessing that maybe TWD will be cheaper next year, but I think for the next couple of months $15 is as low as it will be.

bobphone · Sep 16, 2012

I already finished WD 1+2 on PSN (thanks, PS+). If I buy it on PC and start from Episode 3, can I select what happened in 1+2?

BMXJouster · Sep 16, 2012

Hey Tony, I just wanted to let you know that I contacted Amazon customer service directly about my Borderlands 2 4-Pack issue. The problem ended up being what I thought it was so they canceled the order and let me reorder it and I got my 4 keys fine.

I just wanted to thank you for trying to help with the situation. I can't wait to play Borderlands 2 on Tuesday.

Genocidal · Sep 16, 2012

Nothing for me this week unfortunately. Blame all these good games coming out that make me hesitant to add to my backlog.

Omg, 76 was one of my favorite games ever. I actually listen to soundtrack ever few weeks or so and reminisce. Picked up 76 and 82 on gog in hopes to play them again. Still part of the ole backlog though...

we do need another entry in the vehicle combat genre. Not enough these past years.

This is my question as well. I'd kill for that on the PC, but would like to know if I can carry my choices or trick the game into what I've already done, etc.

(If anyone wants to know if the games are worth it, The Walking Dead is one of the best games I've played this year. at 15 bucks, it's a steal. My only complaint is that I can never find a good chunk of time to play through the episodes in one sitting!)

No way to do this without a save. Even then upon next release your save could glitch and get deleted. No tricks, but the game might randomly align with your choices.

But I wouldn't be too concerned about this issue.

golfer · Sep 17, 2012

Nice of the new thread and all. But does this mean we wont get our answer of what games will be in the new strat first bundle?

Everything is cool if we have to wait until its release, but any sort of heads up would be much appreciated. Even if it is that we wont know until it is released. At least we would know then. Thanks, Tony.

Cofresi · Sep 17, 2012

To Tera or not to Tera? That the question!

I already got my mmo dosis with swtor but i enjoyed the trial of Tera... Any Tera player know if the choronoscroll are easy to get in the in-game auction house?

Idiotekque · Sep 17, 2012

Just wanted to toss this question back in here since you didn't answer it in the last thread, Tony:

"I know I'm alone here, but I'd really like to see the Hard Truck Apocalypse games in the 1C or Strategy First bundles.

I have the second one, Rise of the Clans, and the game is a beautiful mess. The WORST translating I have EVER seen in a game, ever, complete with voiceovers, obstacles you can get stuck on which force you to reload from a previous save, completely horrendous AI, and yet... I love it.

Why are there not more sandbox vehicular combat action RPGs?

Basically, could you tell me if the Hard Truck Apocalypse games are going to be in either the Strategy First or 1C bundles, or available on sale alone?"

... Interstate 76 ...

I've never heard of that one. Looks like I better check it out!

Patch517 · Sep 17, 2012

If anyone hasn't bought TWD yet, BUY IT. I was hesitant last time because I'm not really a big fan of adventure/point and clicks, I said fuck

it and went for it, and I absolutely loved it. Even picked up the Sam & Max complete pack from Steam this weekend. If you do get the Telltale pack Tony I might consider picking up Back to the Future and Tales from Monkey Island from you guys, so get on it

Anyway, any news on Arkham City GOTY yet?

Yeah I get a lot of random emails about games I haven't looked at or games that are full price when it says they're on sale.

Is there an actual Video Game GOTY contest? I mean like The Oscars. Would be nice to see WD in the running for it.

Agree! This is a great game... and I don't usually play this genre. The story is so gripping and you make a true emotional connection to the characters.

Exactly, I'd love to see some sort of industry/fan recognition for a genre that needs it. I'd love to see more games like WD.

Tony, a friend of mine purchased the CE version of Tera and was going to give me the gift copy as indicated in your post. There is no gift option and when I click on the link for the CE, I don't see offer. Any idea on what gives?

Fozbot · Sep 17, 2012

Tony - Steam has the Pendulo game "The Next Big Thing" at 75% off. I would love to see a Pendulo Pack at around $15 (which is what Steam had it for the Summer Sale). Side note, I did not see the DRM type listed with the Pendulo games? Do you have Steam versions? One last thing, do the Amazon version come with both PC/Mac (where available)? That is something I feel Steam handles well - if I buy a game and it is available on PC/Mac, I get both versions without additional cost.

Thanks.

UW_Shocks · Sep 17, 2012

Hey Tony

I was searching through the Amazon digital games catalog and came across a surprising anomaly.

I found "Chronicles of Riddick - Assault on Dark Athena" [PC Download] through the search feature, but when you click on it, the "PC Download" option disappears.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_3?rh=n%3A468642%2Ck%3Achronicles+of+riddick%2Cn%3A%2111846801%2Cn%3A979455011&bbn=11846801&keywords=chronicles+of+riddick&ie=UTF8&qid=1347915772&rnid=11846801

My question is: is this a new game that will be added to the games catalog? If so, will this also be the DRM FREE version that is available at GoG? [the DRM version has T@GES]. This is actually a game I've been waiting to buy.

Thanks!

PS - any chance of having a sneek peek at the Strategy First Bundle game list?

MC Kage · Sep 17, 2012

Hey man,

This is to Idiotque as well.

The Riddick game is an older one that someone lost the rights to distribute (Ubisoft?) so we had to pull down, it is not new.

As for Strategy first, and hard truck apocalpyse, I don't have the bundle finalized yet, but I'll try to make sure that game gets into it.

Also,

Someone asked about Worms last week. The person responsible for the relationship with that team assures me we should have the product up before it launches.

Woot.

Cheers,
Tony

The DLC server seems to be down anyway, so there really isn't any rush.

I already have my code. I'm also not really sure how to use the "golden key". Does anyone know when it comes into play?

Not sure if you are aware, but the Mechromancer doesn't get released for 3 months or something. They are still working on it. The other stuff, I'm curious about as well.
