Link to GameStop.

I never use them, so I just signed up for an account. I'm not sure if it was a first time discount or what, but they gave me enough of a discount to eat the tax on it.

I know a lot of people want this and I can confirm that it is a Steam key.

If this was posted before, my apologies. I just picked up a copy and figured I would share it.

Edit: Deal is over. Is it back to $20. It is still being sold, at least.

After buying this, I ended up getting the order status processing for Ghostbusters, when I tried to buy it. I wrote them immediately and then placed another order, just as a test, for a small piece of DLC. That order went through fine. It is clearly only on certain products or product combos that the processing thing triggers on.

Now the interesting part. Without hearing back from them, they just put my order through. I ordered it over three hours ago. There is hope for everyone, after all. I doubt anyone read my email, but one way or another, I got my order to go through.

If you guys don't have yours by the time the place opens and you are from the US/Canada, I would call them and make them put the orders through. No sense in letting this stuff go away and never be heard from again.

Although something strange is going on, right now. All the games suddenly reappearing on Steam and on Gamestop. This is like 5 or so games that just suddenly reemerged. I don't know if they went and worked out new deals, updated their agreements, fixed the key system, or what, but suddenly everything is coming back.

Yup. I traded a copy away for 2 TF2 keys. Next day, it was removed from Steam store, and prices rose to like 10 keys.

Riddick and Ghostbusters suddenly having keys at GameStop are two. Saw returned to the Steam Store after little hope. The Penumbra stuff popped back up, as well. I guess it was four. I really didn't read much about it earlier. I may have seen another thread and just forgot the name of a fifth game. That is four, though. I did say 5 or so. That was the lazy way of counting. The I don't feel like looking up anything to confirm way.

Edit: Now that I took two seconds to look it up, I might have been thinking of Supreme Ruler 2020 Gold. I was looking that up the other day when I was filling out all the game keys on the Paradox forums, registering them, then I saw someone mention it. I may or may not have been trying to own every single game you can register there, just to see what all the covers would look like.

Unfortunately our system was unable to process your order. This has resulted in the order's cancellation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Huh, ordering through a proxy didn't work after all. Anyone managed to succeed purchasing it from Europe? Should not be a problem with CC cause I got a reservation for 1 cent from Impulse immediately after placing an order.

From the Dark Athena page on Gamestop, "Escape from Butcher Bay" Included: A new version of the award winning PC title "Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay".

I'm not sure about individually on Steam, but you do get that game, as well.

Didn't this game have a DRM, which allowed for a limited no. of installs?

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes. 3 installs. This was one of the reasons it was removed from steam. Some people also had a problem registering the game, being unable to connect to their servers.

I just played the game recently, and didn't have a problem

The 3 installs shouldn't be a problem, I don't think you will be playing this game more than once. The game is good, and I recommend it though

I see, thanks. Actually I like to delete the games after finishing them since I have limited HDD space. I finished the original riddick more than 5 times. It's a classic game for me, and I would finish it again, but the DRM is a turn off.

This offer's nice and all, but after reading about the DRM issues, I'm a bit hesitant to buy this from Gamestop's store. I might just wait for a sale on GOG before picking this one up.

I hate to ask this here, but I can't seem to find anyone on SteamTrades who can trade me a copy. Most topics are closed. Is there someone who can help me out? Just add me. Thanks.

You would be better off asking on there, on your own post. Trading isn't allowed at these forums. You should either ask someone that you know personally or go and find a trader willing to deal with you. On top of this, GameStop is a huge pain to deal with and most people seem to be happy just getting their copies. Well happy and feeling really lucky.

I took a quick look around. Some claimed to have to update the Tages Driver to get it to work on 64 Bit Windows 7, others said it just worked fine. I wouldn't be too worried.

It is still there. The connection is the problem. I guess try a different proxy or get it elsewhere. If you don't have an American or Canadian way of paying, you probably won't get it anyway.

OK, so I bought two copies as gifts. The gift email says I need GameStop to download the game. Huh? I thought this was supposed to be a Steam key?

You get your keys using their app. It is stupid, but it is the only way.

Thank you for the response. I sent an email to Support asking for more information about how I might gift a copy. I'm hoping that I will be able to use this for a giveaway, but that remains to be seen.

I keep getting order cancellation notices from them. Has anyone been able to pick this up today?

I picked up a second copy of this and Ghostbusters earlier today, about 5 hours ago. If you are from the US or Canada, then it might just be that they don't like something about what you are doing. A bad address (Compared to your payment option) or a bad payment option itself could do you in. They manually process the orders of certain games to prevent fraud. Basically you have minimum wage employees determining the fate of your purchases. I would call them and figure out what is wrong. They are open 7 days a week and are still open right now. If you don't want to, an email wouldn't hurt. Just ask them why your orders aren't going through. They probably know.

I was just reading around about the DRM and I noticed this post. It explains that the activations can be reset by contacting Tages and that they reset themselves after 30 days (From the time of the third activation). I know a lot of people had questions about the DRM and if you read that full thread, you can get quite a bit of information. The first post actually isn't very useful, you can skip it and just keep reading the much shorter ones below it.

I didn't see this listed as part of the Halloween sale, when I looked a few days back, but the sale is still going. Since it is 75% off, you are unlikely to find it cheaper anywhere else, for a while, even if it returns to Steam. You might as well pick up a copy, if you want it, before the sale ends. It could end with the rest of the Halloween sale games.

The deal has ended. The Steam copies are still being sold, though.
