Hi Tony,

Weird request, but is there any way you can get Steam keys for the Brothers in Arms and Call of Juarez games? Both series are on Steam.

Thanks!

Well, Dead Space doesn't come with an Origin key either.

I bought this Dead Space Dual Pack and both Dead Space 1 and 2 came with Origin keys:

EA tries very hard to make as many of their recent games as possible plug into Origin, but I don't think that pack actually requires it, or at least it would be weird if it did. If you buy Dragon Age or Mass Effect on Steam you can plug the CD key into Origin and it will work, but that's different from it being an Origin key, I would say. At least we should make the distinction for the sake of games like Syndicate and Mass Effect 3.

By any chance has Guild Wars 1 gone on sale any time in recent history? I keep thinking it should be possible to pick up that game for dirt cheap now but it still seems to be pretty expensive. If not, any chance of it going on sale at any point in the future?

The beta patch, numbered 1.3 or something? I could never get that to install properly. The main menu would keep saying 1.0 when I launched the game.

Oh sweet! Thanks for posting this. With the CAGROCKS promo code it`s $3.74

Not Steam but I think I`ll grab it if I can register on Origin

Edit: After purchasing I`m being subject to a security check that can take up to 4 hours. I`ve never experienced this before.

Apparently a number of people are using up the $15 credit they get for Bioshock Infinite and then canceling their pre-order, which is pretty scummy.

Hey Tony after making headway in the Alamur/Rhode Island mess see if you can magic up some deal on Everyday Genius: Squarelogic for your next trick. I'd ask for steam keys but it's been pulled from there after the rights went back to the devs and half a year on there's still no sign of it returning to the store.

Hey, you know what? I'm no Tony (I'll never be that handsome) but you're in luck. I bought Everyday Genius: Square Logic when it was available on Steam and bought an extra one as a gift, just in case. I was going to SteamGifts it to a goon but since its not in the store anymore, I can't do that and I still have that gift. So, I'll give it to you. I don't hear of many people wanting this game so enjoy! Add me on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/iloverice/

That would be amazing :stare:. There are probably people who'd pay several times the price for it or trade some new game for the thing though, just to have a title on their account that you can't get in the store anymore. I added you but if you'd rather chase the big bucks then it's cool.

Heya AmazonTony, I found a problem today using the onetime CAGROCKS code. I went through to purchase the standard copy of AC: Revelations for $11.99 and added the code which gave me a $3 discount. I then realised I needed to change my credit card details so I updated the details and came back to the buy screen and saw that it was back to the $11.99 price. I entered the code again but this time it wouldn't let me apply it saying the code is invalid.

I get it's a onetime code, I just didn't think it'd mark it off against your account until you completed the sale. Just thought you should know.

Huh. I always thought that the digital thing was pre-purchasing, not pre-ordering. As in, it's completely justified for them to tell you to gently caress off if you want to cancel.

Basically I'm sad I could have cancelled my Guild Wars 2 waste of $60.

The way they did it this time was weird, they gave you an immediate $15 2k credit within 2 days of setting up a preorder, and then an additional $15 credit when the game was released. Usually everything comes in within 24 hours of game release and not before.

Victoria 2 possesses zero Steam integration, and the only way to get a Steam version of it or its DLC is to buy it on Steam itself. Same goes for Hearts of Iron III, IIRC, if anyone was wanting to get the pack that's on sale.

I believe there's a way to modify the registry so that the AHD installer thinks the retail version of V2 is installed. If you copy the game from steam to a separate folder, and do that registry trick, you should be able to install the expansion over it. I can't for the life of me find the exported registry key to make this easy or instructions on how to make it work.

One of those Paradox bundles that Amazon had in January definitely had Steam keys for both V2 and AHD because that's how I got them on Steam. Maybe Amazon is just out of Steam keys?

Something to note is that i believe this game is region locked on Origin. I got this at some point last year from the Amazon store and while the download and stand alone launcher is fine, the Origin client didn't like the activation code. The only reason i could figure is that it's because i'm in the UK and my origin client is set to UK or whatever.
