I've reached out to the mods and gotten permission to post here (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3450939&userid=15053#post410700042). I'll be posting deals we're running on Digital Games (PC/Mac, Free to Play, Sony/Microsoft Points/Subs). This post will be a work in progress, so please give me your feedback so I can change the OP and help everyone get the most out of it. 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. You'll notice this tag on any links I post to Amazon: somethingawfu-20 This is an affiliate tag for Something Awful, it will ensure they get paid a portion of any purchases you make after clicking through from this forum to Amazon.com. Just want to be 100% transparent about this upfront. I'll try to keep the deals in the first post, so here's the current lineup: FYI. EA Games sold by Amazon will not activate on Steam. Deal of the Week Check out these helpful links for our Mayhem! Sale: Here is the best list we have currently for the Steam games in Mayhem! Sale thanks Darrith!: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10743290#post10743290 Here's what I think is the most comprehensive list of games on sale, in chronological order thanks asheskitty!: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...0#post10743290 Here's a Spreadsheet version too! https://googledrive.com/host/0B2WBzqDyGxSgOEo5b3FSTFhFZms/amazon_deals_mayhem.html 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. For example, I'll follow this post up with 50 Star Craft 2 Beta keys embedded in "url" links so you'll have to quote to see. 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.

I mean as long as you don't edit our your post and put up a picture of goatse or something. Anyways, thanks for the deals man! I already own or picked up most of these during last crazy November sales but there's some good buys for people that missed out. I'm also one of those irrational people that only buy if it activates on Steam, so I don't really buy EA games even though I'd love to try Kingdom of Amalur and Syndicate. Are there any planned bundle sales after 12/22 or is this it for now? This may be a bit too early, but I have something like $75+ in $5 1/1-1/31 VG credit, would you perhaps know what games would be on sale for the best use of that credit or is everything going to be full price during the month of January?

A bit an aside since Amazon's support was useless. When I try and purchase the Shogun bundle Amazon keeps auto applying a gift card that I do not want to use. There is no checkbox for giftcards (unlike regular Amazon orders) with these digital bundle deals so I'm at a loss on how to stop this.

Anybody know if I can buy, for example, the THQ Medley, install the games I want then keep the rest to gift/sell when the Steam Market comes out of beta?

All of the Sims 3 stuff registers on Origin right? We have the base game on Origin, just want to make sure it'll work with it.

It's B2P, has a decent and growing goon presence. The gameplay in terms of pushing buttons isn't the freshest and most original, but the story and such is great, and the actual mechanics behind combat are fairly interesting.
