Too bad Assassins Creed doesn't activate on Steam. I'm guessing that's more because of Ubisoft than Amazon or Valve though.

SR3 doesn't even work in Steam anymore after recent update >:(

Welcome! And I think it's cool to have you here. I hope we see many more great deals from Amazon! I Appreciate you posting here! Will the 1st assassin's creed be on sale for more than 22% (It's currently 22% off). Do you get to decide like what games go on sale? If you do that's awesome haha!!!

On the page of the game it says "Requires Steam Activation". Other that I guess he'll have to answer =p.

Thank you! I can confirm that Darksiders, Zeno Clash, and Red Faction: Armageddon are all Steam redeemable.

A ot don't though like the Space Marine DLC's...which should be easy...but a couple of thses in this package (Rockstar Classics Bundle - $14.99 (Max Payne 2, Bully, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City, Midnight Club 2)) will not work on Steam.
Some times its a guess if Amazon does not list as needing Steam (or able too be activated via Steam). Steam's list says the code must be in a certain format..and you can not see the code format from Amazon

If you have a question about Steam Activation you should do a CTRL+F on the product page and search for "Steam".
You should see something under system requirements that says "Steam account required for installation and activation".
There are some exceptions that we're still updating, so you have questions you can always ask me.

Sure, does this site have a PM system? If no look me up on CAG or Reddit.com/R/Gamedeals and I'll toss you an email address.

Hey there,
This is something that is definitely on our development roadmap. The reason why it doesn't exist right now is because all digital items live on a separate order pipeline than physical goods, because we don't have warehouses and actual physical products.
There's quite a bit more technical detail to it that I don't understand, but It is definitely something we are aware of and are working towards improving.
As for a Steam alternative. What amazon does really well is help people discover the stuff they want. We want to keep doing that without dictating where you can use that stuff :).
Cheers,
Tony

Oh, Amazon doesn't accept PP. Too bad for Amazon, I guess.

Thanks Gummy. We're certainly trying to bring awesome deals.

Woohoo! More Darkness :) :). This is a big test for us (a discount like this on such a newer title) so I'd really like to have a good story to tell about it when I try to pitch stuff like this in the future...tell your friends :).

Lol thanks for the compliment. I'm working on some cool stuff specifically for those coupon users again in the future, and then we'll definitely be looking at ways to replicate the awesomeness of that promotion again :).
Cheers,
Tony

And thus, this test...end of January we tested coupon usage, this month we're testing killer discounts on some newer titles, namely The Darkness II and Saint's Row. We'll compare notes after and see which worked better.
Cheers,
Tony

Hello Tony and welcome to the site. I welcome the increase in the core games that amazon offers on the game downloads store. :) I have been a Game Downloads customer since 2010 and let me tell you that the improvements have been nothing but for the better :) Personally there are some issues still with the product descriptions and the interface in general that I feel need to be resolved. However, with regards to the deal prices, I have nothing to say other than a job well done. I have a few comments and questions I would appreciate to be addressed. I am khergit on CAG. I would appreciate it if you would contact me. Cheers.

I can't send you a message on CAG for some reason, can you PM me? Happy to toss you my email address so we can chat, but I'm reticent to due so over a public forum due to past experience (lots of crazy, unproductive, emails flooding my box).
Cheers,
Tony

For some reason I cannot PM you either... I sent you a friend request, hopefully that may solve the problem of not being able to pm.

Tony-
Why doesn't Amazon allow me to use an Amazon Payment balance on PC game downloads? I can purchase a boxed version and have it mailed, but not a direct download.
Would love to see this changed... I use amazon mturk to fund my game purchases in between paychecks :)

Totally hear you, for the most part if the question is, "why can I buy X physically using Y functionality but not digitally?" The answer is generally that we're on a completely different ordering system due to lack of inventory, warehouses, COGS, all that stuff.
We're plugging through the functionality but it takes time to overhaul an order system the size of ours. One good example is "Pre-Orders", when I started in August they didn't exist for Game Downloads. We knew this was a "must have" and the team had been working for months to push the functionality live.
TLDR - We totally agree and have teams of people working on making the experience better :)
Cheers,
Tony

Sweet, glad to know this might be a possibility in the future. Thanks for the quick response!

Hi m8!
I have question. I want to buy Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II Retribution Complete Pack but there isn't any info about STEAM. There is only "Internet connection required for online Games for Windows LIVE play" but on other WH40K retribution is said that it need STEAM. Soooooo? I need to buy 2 things : WH40K ret + all dlc pack , or I can buy just that complete pack and it will be work on STEAM?
Annnnnnnd, don't know that u can say it to me, but... WH40K retr. got some kind of region lock?
Cheers!
Comment has been collapsed.
Good questions :).
No clue about the region lock sorry :(.
As for Steam, yep, both components of the complete pack activate on Steam. Basically when you buy it we'll drop two items in your library, each will have its own Steam key.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi everyone,
Link
My name is Tony, I'm the Marketing Manager for the Amazon Game Downloads group.
NOTE - The deals I list here and in the title are already listed here, but I figured I needed to come with some sort of deal for you guys to talk about.
Link
First and foremost, just want to let you know that one of the head Mods invited me to come post here from Reddit, but I'm not looking to make waves anywhere, so if you, as a community aren't excited about me interacting and posting here then I'll bow out.
With that being said, I'll give you a little background about myself. I joined the Amazon Game Downloads team in August and have been working in the Video Game industry for about 3 years now.
I'm also a 26 year old avid gamer, I'm sure many of the posters here and I share a lot in common. I play League of Legends like it is my job and I still consider FFIV(II in the US) to be the pinnacle of all that is RPG.
I'm here to bring you killer deals on PC downloads, talk with you about video games, and help you with questions/issues that you might have.
Here's a line by line list of games we'll have on sale starting tonight at 12:30AM PST(or thereabouts):
The Witcher 2 - $14.99 (Deal of the Week is extending through 2/29)
Darkness II - $24.99 - Activates on Steam
Payday: The Heist - $4.99 Activates on Steam
Saint’s Row The Third - $24.99 Activates on Steam
Warhammer 40K Space Marine: $14.99 Activates on Steam
Red Faction Armageddon - $4.99 - Activates on Steam
Mirror’s Edge - $4.99
Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition - $4.99
Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II Retribution Complete Pack - $19.99 Activates on Steam
Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood - $7.49
NBA 2K12 - $9.99 + $5 off MLB 2K12 Pre-Order
Trine - $1.24
Assassin’s Creed 2 - $4.99
Rockstar Classics Bundle - $14.99 (Max Payne 2, Bully, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City, Midnight Club 2)
Here's a link to the full sales page:
Link
We will also have a TON of Space Marine and Retribution DLC on sale as well for 66% off.
Again, sorry for the repeat of deals, I wanted to make sure I didn't just post a "here I am!" post though :).
By the way, question for you, if we put Stronghold III on sale for $15 who would be excited about that deal?
Cheers,
Tony
