[Amazon] Civilization V for $8.99 ($3.99 with coupon)

It has to activate on STEAM as its Steamworks title. I think they are unable to find the key which came with the purchase. Try looking inside DIGITAL ITEMS LIBRARY it will show the code.

you only need valid US address, after purchasing you can activate it anywhere (done with already 4 games from Amazon)

Yes, its region locked - steam refuses to activate it in my region (CZ) :(.

Thanks though.

I couldn't activate it at first. But when I tried using a US VPN, it activated successfully!
For those non-US users who already bought it from Amazon, you can try using a US VPN to activate it.
(I used Anchorfree Hotspotshield btw)

1) Exit Steam
2) Start VPN
3) Login Steam
4) Activate
5) ...
6) Profit!

Cheers! :D

But he's talking about using the VPN just to activate, not to buy. Would it work?

Is Civ 5 worth $4? It's gotten really bad reviews.

It is the best TURN BASE STRATEGY there is.
BAD REVIEWS?? It is 90 on metacritic. I would love to have that discount coupon if you are not planning on buying :)

I am pretty sure it is at $4. I think people who complained were comparing to Civ 4. I haven't played a Civ since 3 so I am looking forward to this one!

Can you buy a game download twice on Amazon.com with one account? My brother wants in on this too but I already bought it for myself.

If it's a Steamworks title, which Civ5 is, yes.

It's not possible to get coupons anymore.

Skip V, it's just bad with it's AI and so much more. 4 is the real Civilization.

but it doesn't have the dlc? surely it is better to wait and get the whole pack then, if it is that great?

it has some dlc - at least it shows babylon dlc as included on steam. I asked some people and the dlc is not worth much money since there are mods adding much more to the game.
