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.

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.
 
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?
 
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?

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.

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

It definitely works. I used Mozilla Foundation's address
