I've check thru the price... aren't much attractive as Steam. At least for me.
I was looking into this

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-W40KP/warhamm...of-war-platinum
Normal Price was $29.95, 50% Discount would be $14.97

But in Steam
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1120/

The same package cost me on normal price $14.97 only. if there's at least a 50% discount or more, it would be less than $10 already.
LOL

I was just thinking about that.

But better not risk it because you won't be able to sell your Steam version.

Not sure about Gamer's Gate version.

I don't think you can sell as well.
It's the same thing like when you purchase your games thru EA directly.
It will be tagged under your account and it's not transferable.

The only thing is they don't use clients to run, instead using Web Based UI to download the games.

Can't get the steam link you're referring to. unless its this? DoW - Platinum Which is $29.99 now.

If i had to choose, i'd tend to lean on a vendor that don't let me choose where i want to install my game! That's pretty much my beef on steam. Can't they just give us an option or something? It can be done but meh.. to go thru links and what nots for every game...

Perhaps you try searching for anthology version of DoW using the US proxy.

Anthology cost $14.99 only

That might because there's people like me, for example, who prefer all the game to stick on one platform than Many many other platform.

Easier to keep track on our spending + games.

Not to mentioned Steam have that community friendly services.

Steam update issue is not entirely about Steam.
It's about our ISP problem. How come I can update and log in smoothly while the others cannot? I also Streamyx user what.

Same thing with Steam, you can play game on offline mode also. Just that in many millions of the Steam user, there's most likely 1% or less know about the offline modes.

Provided your Steam is up-to-date. Offline play is possible.

There's also a possibilities that U might ditch Retail box, if those game ever made it into DD platform in the future.
