Warhammer DoW II: Retribution $7.49 @ Amazon (Download)

[Decepticon]

Amazon has DoW II: Retribution for $7.49. Less than half of the Steam "sale" price. Yes, I believe you can activate this through Steam, though

I can confirm that it activates on Steam...JUST did it

Not only can you activate it on Steam, you must. It is a Steamworks game meaning it ONLY works with Steam. So you can download it through Amazon if you like and it'll run the Steam installer, like any other Steamworks game.

At the moment it might be beneficial to download via Amazon since Steam's servers are slammed with the sale and they never bother to buy extra capacity. Amazon, on the other hand, has more capacity than anyone else.

Just something to know about games. If you are ever wondering "Will this activate on Steam," go and see if it is protected with Steamworks. If it is, then it will because it must, Steam is the only way to play the game. If it isn't, it is still possible it will. There are some games like Unreal Tournament 3 that are not Steamworks but can activate on Steam, but not a ton.

Also if yo just want the key you needn't download the game. Tell Amazon you'll get it later, then go to your software page. There is a button there to give you the key.

Thanks picked up last night and activated on Steam without a hitch. Almost said F*** it and was going to buy from Steam. Glad I waited.
