i got a newbie question here..let's say i bought AC2:Brotherhood at GG..
will the game be non-Steam? can I play with those using Steam as well?

right now,i know i can tie the game to steam,but still wondering would it be steam or non-steam....

why u wan to make it as steam game ? u need to pass though 2 DRM.... ><

Yar, I like the blue coins system too, I usually keep them to buy very cheap games on offer that are only few usds.

Still better than nothing to get some of the amount of purchases back.

Moreover higher level of membership (the yellow/red/black thing) means sometimes bigger sales (like sales can be 50% for yellow, 60 for red and 70 for black)

steam put a big warning there.. but in the steam forum some ppl manage to get the thing to run on win7..

just need to download and run some kind of patch.. only

Wednesday digital distribution service GamersGate announced the upcoming launch of FreeGames, a free-to-play ad-supported platform for PC and Mac titles. The new site will allow users to download, install and play up to five titles at once free of charge, but are required to watch a short advertisement at the launch of the game.

"The new service offers the best of both worlds for both gamers and publishers,"said Theodore Bergquist, CEO at GamersGate. "Gamers can play games for free, catch up on franchises or try a game out before they buy. Publishers will receive ad revenue while expanding their audience. We’ve always been at the forefront of the digital delivery business and I’m confident that our new service will help reshape the industry."

GamersGate currently offers over 3,000 titles including the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Darkspore, Dragon Age 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Bulletstorm, Dead Space 2 and loads more. GamersGate expects that a large portion of its current library will be available in the ad-supported model for the September launch.

As seen here, the FreeGames website features a countdown timer and a place to sign up for the beta. There's also indication that users will have an option to add additional games on top of the 5-title limit (a monthly all-you-can-eat subscription perhaps?), but specific details are not provided. GamersGate will either reveal more this week at E3 2011, or announce the available games list closer to the platform's launch
