IIRC, you've already have ME2, no?

There should be no issue in playing the games because unlike Steam, there is no client involved. About downloading, as long as the games are registered under your account, they should be good to go but don't quote me on that. The reason I said so is due to the fact that GGTwitter specifically assured me that there will be no issue in making purchase of ME2 from the UK GG domain (50% cashback of blue coins).

I've tweeted them again to double confirm. Will get back to you once I got their response.

Good news! Reply as below:

Nope, I don't use playxpert, not because it's unreliable but just to keep the installed applications in my PC to the minimum.

It's hard to ask this question since it's an open channel. I'll try to DM them instead.

EDIT: I think should be no issue since Abyssio (link) managed to purchase his games. Have to ask him for clarification if he managed to get his running.

Well... you can definitely try. I'll look forward to your findings then.

WTF?! I just rushed home & this is the kind of treatment I get? SPARTAAAA~

EDIT: Ohoho... it's still available!

Not siding with any platforms & do correct me if I'm wrong but I think the reason The Witcher's price in Steam increased from $6.78 was due it being included in the daily special offer. Something like during the whole duration of Summer Sale, it was under 50% (example) & on a particular day, Steam decreased it further (like maybe 75%) for that day only.

This might be the reason you deemed Steam as unethical... or something along that line.

Based on GG's tweets, I think next week is going to be RTS week.

Ehh? IIRC, you were looking for either Red Faction Guerrilla or Saints Row 2 last time but they're no longer in your sig.

Well, if it's not too much trouble for you, it's preferable to update the first post too.

I'm on a mission to dethrone Steam from monopolizing the DD business.

Yeah, that's 1 setback with GG. That's why it's good to spend some a few minutes reading up user reviews before making purchase.

Steam itself is a form of DRM.

This is understandable since GG is almost equivalent to retail version. Moreover, unlike Steam, GG doesn't involve a client, hence the need to include other kinds of DRM. Else, GG will be akin to safe haven for piracy.

Digital Rights Management. It's some kind of methods / mechanisms that developers / distributors integrate into their games to prevent unauthorized sharing or piracy. Steam itself is a form of DRM since you have to be tie the game to your Steam account. If you play the new StarCraft 2, the fact that you have to log into Bnet is a form of DRM too.

However, for GG, even though DRM is applied, they can help you reactivate the games.

Added on August 9, 2010, 10:02 pmI've checked NA region & found no difference. Did I miss out on anything?

EDIT: Ehh... GG added more games into the list!

Like Steam, sometimes there are hidden gems that unfortunately were region locked, like last week's Mass Effect series & Dragon Age.

Personally, I prefer Saints Row 2. UT is too fast for me, compared to TF2's.

Oh? I thought these 2 have already been included for a few days back. My bad for no updating you guys.

Anyway, BFBC2 is now with 40% discount & currently tagged at $29.95.

Hahaha... yea completely aware of that. In fact, there are a few games that GG is a lil' slow in revising their prices.

It's from the US region. You can try http://www.gamersgate.co.uk/summersale where the same game is under 43% discount.

Yeah, GG is either very greedy or slowpoke in revising their game prices. Do note though that the currency sign for GG UK is in GBP (United Kingdom Pounds), not EUR (EURO).

Hehe... unless someone wanna give it a test & see how their CC company charge them?
