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

It's not really about inventing new games to sell. Seriously, the packs are great as long as you don't own at least 50% of it, beyond that, the extra keys start piling to the point they become useless.

I too would like to see more individual games again, for the starter lineup for this holiday deals there are several packs I would buy but have Borderlands GOTY on them, really, I don't need extra copies of that.

Because this is just the starter lineup, ain't it?? Come on, we all know Tony has a few aces up his sleeve.
 
Well there's no Paradox stuff discounted yet so I'm sure that's coming. And, yes, I'd like to see more individual discounts, too. Especially with DLC or at least packages of DLC. But, obviously they make more by pushing stuff that's less likely to be purchased again individually a la Borderlands and Bioshock.
 
I made myself a list of games around $2 - here it is in case anyone else is interested. The list went through my own personal filter so there's probably a few that I didn't make a note of.
(couldn't figure out how to post a bunch of urls and preserve the links)

Many are from strategy first or meridian4 - I suspect these will end up in a bundle like 1C; well hopefully not exactly like 1C.

As far as I could tell, they all get you a Jan coupon.

I wouldn't count on lightning striking twice though. Ubisoft has their own client (Uplay) that they're trying to get some traction for.

Ubi goes Steamworks with games they don't intergrate U-play with. Rocksmith, Clash of Heroes, Mad Riders. Basically their niche or smaller titles.

That's not the same thing as getting Steam keys for their non-Steamworks games really.

[quote name='RollingSkull']Payday is fantastic. Much better than KF in my opinion and has more last appeal than L4D[/QUOTE]

I don't consider KF to be in the same gaming sphere as either Payday or L4D.

At higher difficulty levels, KF is about finding a good spot to bunker down and hold on tight. You bust your ass to the trader and back in between rounds and start all over again.

L4D and Payday are more objective-based games that require you to move from point A to point B. They scratch completely different itches for me and I'm sure most others as well. I always cringe when I see comparisons between KF and either of those games because they don't play out the same way at all.

I've logged three times as many hours in KF as either of those games. It has a tough initial learning curve, but once you get past that it can be intense.

I don't want to be that guy, but...

U-Play is installed if a game needs it, even if bought on Steam. So the client is "pushed" no matter the store.

Also, Ubisoft has been quite opened lately at the idea of expending their "horizons":

http://www.gog.com/catalogue?search=Ubisoft

If Ubisoft would really want to be aggressive in promoting Uplay, I would suggess them first to consolidate all the games I have bought with my Ubisoft account (Ubi store), and then redeem the games I bought from other distributors (like EA did - to a certain point - with Origin). Then, I might consider it as valid game client.

Just my 2 cents...
 
Dang it! I picked up Secret World thinking they'd fixed the graphics driver issues. Nope! Looks like I can't play it until I quit using an Nvidia graphics card.

well, maybe it's just my card then. My card is a laptop card and when I tried to update it for the beta it crashed every time I loaded the game. I eventually had to roll it back and tune my graphics settings way down (talking about super jaggy image) just to be able to play for 30-60 min blocks before it'd lock-up and crash.

I highly doubt it. Also everything I've read points to it being horribly optimized for PC.

What card do you have? I'm running it on an nVidia 680M (laptop card).
 
any chance of getting metro 2033 in the medley swapped with another game? Its pointless since it was given away free

Some people are just ungrateful bastards.
 
[quote name='Genocidal']Games are more of a happy exclusive for Windows than something that they consider a major focus of the OS.
That said, the framework is in place to do this in Games Explorer, but it doesn't matter if no one uses it. My Games Explorer currently shows 39 games; Steam alone is showing 301 installed. Don't blame Windows, blame the devs :).

I also put all my Steam games where I want using symlinks, though there is a built-in feature for it, and have no desire to have a desktop covered in icons or a folder/folder hierarchy to find the game I want. Another area where it's great that I have the option to do it my way and you yours.
[/QUOTE]

Weird. Games are the only reason I have windows installed on my desktop (gaming) machine.

[quote name='Saablic']Were you that surprised I mean that was the advertised game play. QTEs get a bad name but mostly because you will be watching a cutscene and bam out of no where there was a QTE. It can keep you from enjoying the cutscene and only makes you feel minimally engaged.
I didn't find it a problem in IP because it had a simon says QTE gameplay. Heavy Rain is the same way. Some people find that gameplay boring/bad and I can understand that but QTEs aren't always a bad thing.

Lastly, the person you responded to might have meant this too but everyone I know that has played it and didn't like the last 3rd (including me) was because the story took a turn for the really wacky and nonsensical. This is a very bad thing when the game is heavily story driven.
[/QUOTE]

I find cutscene QTEs irritating. I just want to sit back and take it in, which adds some nice change of pace. Before QTEs were all the rage, I remember when PS2 games (e.g. DMC) would rumble during cut scenes. The would startle me. I often set my controller on my desk, so this made a terrble noise and frequency vibrated the controller right of the desk.

[quote name='Biglesworth23']Sucks you were banned from NeoGAF, Tony. Tis a shame. :(

I've known about it for a while, but figured I'd just say something now haha[/QUOTE]

Their loss. Our gain.

[quote name='mm3n']Hey Tony, is it possible to get Steam version for Test Drive 2 Unlimited? Link here - http://www.amazon.com/Test-Drive-Un..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0TZ3P02TAMQP1RCG2NNZ

Also, any idea what DRM is Split/Second?

Thanks![/QUOTE]

It is SecuROM elsewhere. I'd guess that same on Amazon. If you have a console, I'd recommend getting it there. It's still a great game, I can recommend at the $5 mark. I own it from D2D.

From an ealier post (can't quote a post in a locked thread).

Split Second: Much fun. The gimmick set-destruction is very very well integrated and mastery of is critical to getting 1st place. Unfortunately, I've played 2/3 though three times... my saves get horribly corrupted. (Despiite rolling back to prior saves: GoGo Dropbox restore w/Link Shell Extention -- I should post about that separately). I want to finish this sometime by not exiting it before completion.


[quote name='MysterD']
@TONY

I don't wanna go through 14 cumbersome pages of deals that aren't sorted so well! It looks messy!

Your page needs some sorting/filtering options by Title; Price; Different Views (Compact List View, Normal List View, Grid View); etc...
...Like say Gamersgate does.

EDIT:
I see Drakensang: The River of Time is $5.
What's the DRM on that?
And do you guys carry that game's Philleason's Secret DLC?[/QUOTE]

I agree, Amazon's sorting options are in dire need of improvement. Drakensang complete was ~$10.20 (w/o IGN) during the first week of the GG August sale. I wound up picking it up on eBay for $10. My understanding is that only the Special Plastic Edition (retail) is DRM-Free.

[quote name='Mooby']75% on Sreeping Dawgs hasn't happened but it's been as low as $14-$15 which is like... 70% off.[/QUOTE]

$13.60 after GMG coupon, just before Thanksgiving.

Just a heads up to everyone who bought TSW, the Blood Raven pet only can be claimed on ONE character. The weapons and jackets can be claimed on every character you create, once each.


Wait, I was wrong. The game was just lagging or something and didn't show it.

Again, this is the first part of our sale. I'll be updating the post daily. Guys . do you really think we would go through a holiday sale without promoting anything from Namco, WB, Rockstar, Paradox, etc?
[quote name='MysterD']Yep, I knew this.

But, I was wondering if Amazon's version used Steam, DRM-FREE (like that DVD boxed version), or had other DRM.
And I was also wondering if Amazon had Philleason's Secret (DLC).

I already have Drakensang: TDE from D2D, BTW.[/QUOTE]

Our Drakensang is DRM free not sure why we don't have PS but we don't :(

[quote name='darjeeling']Question for you, Tony. Of the games featured in the Viva Big Bundle of Games, are any Steam redeemable? Thanks![/QUOTE]

Yes, this is listed at the top of every bundle page. I'm updating the OP with the info I included in my SA post it seems to be helpful there.

[quote name='Kschreck']Are these the only holiday deals that's going to happen or will there be more (perhaps next Sunday)?[/QUOTE]

More will be added. See above.

[quote name='Mooby']More stuff will be added.[/QUOTE]

Look at Mooby! Keeping the faith. and he's not even building a shrine!

I await these new deals since I own near everything on the front page. And that won't remain for long since I will pick up Blacklight Tango Down in a minute.

Hopefully Inversion returns, since I forgot to get it on Cyber Monday.
