So (after redeeming the Amazon code) my Steam Profile says I own Civ 5, and if I go there I can click Play it Now but nothing happens, and it still doesn't show up at all in my Library.

Click the text on the top right of the Steam window that says x's Account. Does Civ show up on that list?

Any advice? ._.

It's listed as Sid Meier's Civilization 5, not just Civilization 5. Make sure you are looking under S for the game in your library.

Missed Dungeon Defenders

 

[Xavien]

No body knows? Or is everyone who bought it from the US....

Can Dead Island be redeemed in Europe as well or is it region locked? Someone said it's region locked to US.

Its region locked to the US/Canada, the only way to unlock it outside the US/Canada is to use a VPN to make steam think you're in the US, which runs the risk of the game being removed from your list.

 

[MesserWolf]

Well, might finally be time to pick up Civ V...still wish there had been a full expansion, the game really seems to need it.



Amazon declared war on Valve this year.

Indeed. A true and dangerous competitor for STEAM.

Except the part where the only deals people cared about at all were the Steam redeemable games.

 

[NIGHT-]

That's probably only true on GAF..

 

[Corky]

Hey guys, do you think the Tropico 4 steam code is like the Dead Island code, i.e regionlocked and won't work on a european steam account unless you do some vpn trickery?

 

[toastyToast]

There is no Tropico 4 steam code.

 

[Corky]

There is no Tropico 4 steam code.

Oh I see. Carry on then.

Uhh, amazon deals have smoked steam deals this holiday season.

 

[LQX]

I helped out a fellow Gaffer and bought Tropico 4 but it doesn't appear to be registering on Steam. Was it a Steam game to begin with? Anyone registered it with no problems?

It doesnt.

 

[LQX]

It doesnt.

Damn it. Thanks. I wonder which one of us is now out of luck.

 

[swoon]

will civ 5 also register the mac version on steam?

 

[Revoh]

Battlefield 3 is $35 only for today

 

[tmarques]

Its region locked to the US/Canada, the only way to unlock it outside the US/Canada is to use a VPN to make steam think you're in the US, which runs the risk of the game being removed from your list.

For what it's worth, works in Brazil (Dead Island, that is). Only played for a couple of hours and already kind of regret it.

 

[Semblance]

Wish Back to Karkand was on sale as well. Oh well.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

I bought on sale (Thursday?) and it installed no problem. Any chance it's still sitting in your inventory?

 

[Prelithe]

Hmm, you guys think it's worth it? I was going to get it on Origin at 50% off but they cancelled that so I was kind of bummed. I've already got a blacklog so GAF! What to do?!?

 

[goober]

You bought it from amazon and it registered on steam?

 

[Kammie]

So far this sale I've gotten 8 games from Amazon and 6 from Steam... and to tell the truth I'm more excited to see what goes on sale on Amazon every day than on Steam. Steam has been somewhat disappointing--particularly in that they're not doing many franchise sales. And "sales" on titles that are on the Humble Bundle 4? What the heck...

That's because Amazon is deliberately looking at Steam's prices after they go out and out pricing them, they've literally said as much. At which point it wouldn't make much sense or give Steam much leeway to counter act it.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Updated OP with MW3 and BF3 deals.
Thanks for the title change Stump!

 

[Conciliator]

Indeed. A true and dangerous competitor for STEAM.

Awesome, more competition the better. Maybe by 2017 they'll start paying us to take their games.

Missed Dungeon Defenders looks like. LAME.

 

[goober]

Missed the Dragon Age deal -_________________-

 

[faceless007]

Deus Ex DLC $5.09. Sweet for those of us who picked up the game yesterday.

 

[legacyzero]

Hmmm. MW3 for $35?

Color me tempted.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

This year has been amazing for competitive gaming deals.

Amazon and Best Buy in particular have stepped up big time. A lot of my game purchases came from those two.

Hell, even Origin has been pretty competitive with Steam. It had Arkham City for $25 three days after the game released, whereas it took a Daily Deal for the game to drop to the same price on Steam.

So many options nowadays it's crazy. Love the fact that Steam can't sit idly by.

 

[Respawn]

Grabbed Hawx 2 for $7 and change. Thx guys.

 

[Angry Fork]

I hope everyone got Mafia 2. Great game on PC.

 

[cicero]

Deus Ex DLC $5.09. Sweet for those of us who picked up the game yesterday.

This should be added to the OP!

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link DLC [Online Game Code] - $5.09

Adding now thanks for the link.

Is the cheapest that bf3 on the pc has been?

Well sale price in title is over I need a mod to update the title.

 

[Prelithe]

BF3 was 50% off on Origin a few days ago, so cheaper by $5 ($30).

Hi folks, after a successful paypal gift trade over on the steam thread, thought I would try my fortune over here with you kind folks. I am after the steam keys for the PC Civ V GOTY offer but it only works from the US, and $10.99 is too good to pass up!

If anyone is willing to help out someone from the UK, I'd appreciate a PM to sort out the details. I can gift Paypal funds in advance. Many thanks!

Input a U.S. address for the billing address. I used Google's and already got like 8 games from Amazon like this.

 

[DMczaf]

Red Faction Armageddon is $5.99 on Amazon, cheaper than Steam's daily deal today. I believe it's Steamworks, but don't hold me to that!

[Elginer]

Can anyone confirm if Trine and Red Faction are Steam redeemable please. Would me much appreciated.

 

[goober]

Uh. Alien vs. Predator (non-download) is 98 cents.

 

[Elginer]

Saw Dark Void is 2.99 on is it worth it. Uses SecureROM, whatever the hell that is?
