      You know what I would love to see on GoG? Crusader: No Remorse. It's abandonware I guess, I haven't seen it anywhere.

        That's because EA is fucking dumb and won't put their games on GOG. Even Activision has games on GOG.

        I've bought my last five games on D2D...

        It's a great tactic to steal money from Steam for sure... I wonder if it's still profitable in the long run (I wouldn't buy a full-price non-discounted game on there)...

        If you buy a game from D2D that it on the Steam Activation list, does it still work? Basically, do you get a CD Key from D2D that works just like if you had a real cd?

          I'm not sure if you get a CD key or you straight up download the game from D2D servers. Someone should know, though, on here.

            So far I've bought Civ 5, magicka, homefront (which gave me metro 2033 also on steam) and all gave cd keys that worked on steam.

              i think they let you download/install from their servers but steam is required for all the games i just listed anyhow due to steamworks so you have to use steam. Oh and I just used this weekends 20% off to preorder Magicka's Vietnam DLC lol which also is steam cdkey.

      For $20 I'll pick up Elemental:WoM and hope those boys at Stardock patch it into a decent game.
