Don't be suckered into buying Stronghold 3. It's not worth even $1. People talk of unfinished games, but this thing was seriously only like 40% complete.

I like how the Amazon guy does nothing to promote these...
Comment has been collapsed.
I think that the actual guy who posted these on cheapassgamer, user Amazon DVG Deals, did a thread or two here two some time back, can't seem to find it now though. He does post the deals on reddit too and is a pretty frequent poster on cheapassgamer where he, if possible, pricesmatches deals from other digital distribution sites.

I apologize for not having a more thorough communication of my interaction with the community...I caught some pretty negative feedback from members of this community so I stepped away from posting links as my goal is not to create friction with our potential customer base.
The forums I actively post in readily engage in healthy conversation about the deals we're running, our product offerings, etc. It seems that there is a subset of posters here who found my presence offensive.
I'm still around to answer questions but I won't be posting links, at least not in the near term.
Cheers,
Tony

I'm sorry to hear that. I for one really appreciate the effort and the active approach you take with the community, whether it be here, on cheapassgamer or reddit. I think the offers will find their way to this forum one way or another, and there are only a limited number of forums/threads one person can actively take part in, so, again sorry to hear of your negative experience here, but know that the work you are doing is appreciated.
Also I hope you don't mind if I spread the news of good deals on another forum or two which I frequent?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey no worries man! Also, PLEASE DO spread the news. To be clear, I'm not at all offended by the negative reaction/welcome I received here. I want to bring communication and dialogue to the gaming community and get them engaged in what we're doing (if you scroll through the CAG/Reddit posts you'll see what I mean). I can't do that if the audience is hostile to the message and I don't want to create friction needlessly and alienate people.
Again, I'd love it if you spread the word, it is extremely helpful when I try to put these deals together, and I include the multiple posts on various forums from people like you in all of my reports to our publishing partners.
Cheers,
Tony

I didn't know that you had actively decided to step back due to negative feedback. I just thought you'd come, told us how you'd post deals, and then suddenly forgotten about the forum or something. I like hearing about the Amazon deals so I was glad to see your messages. The thing is, even on Amazon itself, a person can easily miss deals. (It's true that sometimes one will receive an e-mail or something but usually it's for some clearance junk while big sales like this are completely ignored.)

Apologies again for the lack of communication there. I made a post a few weeks back about it. I still check this site daily and try to chime in when people have questions. Definitely didn't forget, just have to be considerate of everyone's desires. I'm trying to build communities not stir up trouble.
Hope this clarifies things. Feel free to respond with any quesitons you might have.
Cheers,
Tony

Hmm seems like their game downloads only work for those in USA. So my question is, if someone in america buys Serious Sam 3 bfe, for example, which says it can be used for steam. Do you get a key for steam? Or is there some other system in place?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not really all that obvious, I could think up a few ways that don't give you a key. Specially since they say it is not giftable and they are already going to the trouble of restricting access. Like they could make a link that activates the game in steam and uses your amazon session id. Or whatever, so before I waste any money I would like to know for sure.
I already have an amazon account since years back and I had to type in the same billing address as my visa card is listed for when making purchases to make sure it isn't fraudulent.
So if anyone that has used it could let me know if they give you a key for steam or not I would be grateful :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I have used it a couple of times and I live outside the US. They give you the option of downloading the game or you can get the key from "Your Games and Software Library" and then enter it into Origin or Steam, so you could just gift the key if you wanted. Some games, like Assassins Creed don't register on clients (Steam/Origin) so you have to download the game from them directly.

Thank you so much! I'll have my friend buy it for me right now.
