Just to confirm, Indie Quintet is all Steam codes, right?

Edit: Got impatient. They are. Cool.

Little Inferno and Stealth Bastard don't explicitly mention that they're Steam activated.

So, if someone who isn't from the US, would give an US billing address to buy an Amazon Digital game, would that be illegal-ish, frowned upon or acceptable?

Hey Tony, CS said they aren't able to exchange non Steam keys for Steam keys, you able to help me out? E-mail is zf7s@virginia.edu.

Your order has been refunded, you should now be able to replace your order for the Steam version. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey Tony, what's going on with the game The Maw? I heard a bunch of people got it for free or something, then I looked at the game's page and it's supposed to be free on the 25th?

Buying games from the indie store gives a free copy of the maw is what I hear.

ANGRY WASHING duh-duh duh-duh duh-DUH!
The promos are being a little weird right now. One page lists the current batch as The MAW, Garshasp: The Monster Slayer, and The Curse of Nordic Cove. Instead it's sending out codes for The MAW, The Curse of Nordic Cove and Dynasty of Dusk.

I sent in an email about it due to wanting in on Monster Slayer-ing instead of a duplicate Dynasty. I wanted to play the adventures of Scowly McScowlyface :black101:, dangnabbit. Having a second Nordic Cove is superfluous as it is. Getting anything free is nice, though.

Are there going to be any new bundle deals coming through this indie pipeline anytime soon? Some of these games I'm interested in getting, but not a single bundle yet has been a "great steal" for me, since almost all of them I own already 4/5 of the games in them.

How is strike suit zero? It looks pretty interesting. What kind of game is it?

In that same vein, what bundle should I pick up with ssz?

It's a space shooter, kinda like Freelancer but more arcady then simulator. It's fun and the starry background looks really nice, the voice acting is terrible though.

Tony, got a question about that Batman Origins credit that's apparently a thing. It says it needs to be used by June 2014, does that mean if Origins goes on sale before then, it'll take $5 off the sale price?

Hey Tony!

I don't know if this is your department or not, but I had a question about the "$10 dollar bonus credit on preorders when you trade in $10 worth of games" deal going on. The terms say the bonus credit will only apply to certain preorders, but I don't see them listed anywhere. Can I apply the bonus credit to a PS4 preorder?

I think the preorders it applies to are those games directly beneath the search window.

Ok, so the $19.99 Deus Ex HR/Hitman/Sleeping Dogs/Just Cause 2 bundle. Good deal? I've done one playthrough of Deus Ex HR on my Xbox (stealthy/shooter run), and already own Just Cause 2 from a Steam sale (so I'd sell/trade that.) Worth it, or would I be better off waiting for the Steam sale on these?

Since you're essentially buying this for Hitman and Sleeping Dogs only, you can save about 5 to 8 usd by waiting since both of those have been less than 10 dollars individually. Just depends on whether you wanna play them right now or not.

So since I've only played Deus Ex:HR once, it is worth playing again as (say) stealthy for whatever additional content there is? (I borrowed the Xbox version, didn't buy.) That adds a few more bucks into what I'd "save."

I don't have that much of an urge to play either of those games, I've just heard good things about them from goons and I tend to trust their judgment :v:

I think it's much the same content since there isn't a ton of choice in Deus Ex story-wise, you just get to experience it a different way. Sleeping Dogs I found was okay, definitely some rough edges there, don't know about Hitman since I have yet to play it.

I just finished Sleeping Dogs and it is great, Hitman not so much. Unless you have a buddy or two who you want to share the glory of Deus Ex and JC2 with its probably best to wait till the summer sale.
