So why is the CK2 Norse portraits/music on sale but not Old Gods itself? Could we get an Old Gods specific bundle, Tony?

Can I apply my Bioshock Infinite, "$30 credit good towards 2K Digital Video Games on Amazon.com excluding pre-orders" to Civ 5: Brave New World after it comes out? Or will the fact that it's only 29.99 stymie me?

Dear Aunt, lets set so double the killer delete select all.

I believe it's both the first game and the DLC rather than just the DLC.

For the record, uplay is actually pretty neat. It doesn't suck up memory, run your harddrive raw, or any of the other BS Origin pulls. It also lets you unlock stuff like desktop backgrounds and in-game music files to download via playing the games.

Negative. Our system is set to not let the credit be used on products less than 30 days old (a la the BI Season Pass, etc.) so, since the bundle was just created, the system thinks it is a new product and won't let the credit apply until 30 days have lapsed.

Support should get back to you pretty quickly, if they don't PM me your Order ID (here or at tvacgamer on reddit or amazon dvg deals on cheapassgamer.com) and I'll get you sorted if support doesn't.

I finally managed to fix it by activating the key Amazon gave me on Xbox.com on my profile, then going to the GFWL Program and viewing my key there, which was the proper one. Thanks anyways!

Called customer service and they fixed it for me. Changed the 2k credit to just a regular promo credit.

Tony, can you get Steam keys for this Sega bundle? Most of the content like the Sonic games and Genesis collections come with steam keys in other packs so I figure it isn't too much of an ask, thanks.

Yeah dude, it'll work 30 days post launch. This was actually spelled out on the detail page and the promotional details page when we ran the pre-order. I also covered it in a few different threads (definitely CAG/Reddit, I thought I did here).

We're going to recreate that bundle so in future sales it is all steam keys.

Yes, the plan is to get more feedback from you all once we run another round of bundles and then there will be GoonPacks.

Nope, not a word. I had multiple phone calls with the guy who currently manages the IP, told him what was up (including that the game was still be sold on Steam, which he had no idea about), after which I never.heard.from.him.again. There was a Steam sale (I think like 50% off?) on the game almost immediately after we had this conversation though, so if you're interested in getting a deal on it, I imagine it'll be on sale again through Steam now that the people who own the rights to the game know it is still for sale.

There are 48 games in that bundle.

Don't make us enter 48 keys into Steam, Tony. :ohdear:

Okay it'd actually be 12, but still.

Chiming in to thank Tony for all his customer service work in this thread. I prefer games with Steam keys but I've gotten to the point where if a game has a key and is at a similar price, I'd rather buy it on Amazon than directly from Steam. That's mainly because although I've never had a problem that needs to be addressed, this thread is a nice safety blanket in that it's good to know we have somebody around to answer our questions as opposed to the sometimes dreadful Steam support.

Thanks for the reply. I can't remember the sale but what I noticed time ago is that they changed the price from 49.99 to 29.99, at least is something.

It has been $17.99 in the past without the DLC for any of the games (they were all the vanilla versions) you may have had a $5 credit, bringing it to ~$12...we give out a lot of $5 credits.

I'm thinking he had a coupon too, I just went through my tracker and I can't find a $12 line item for the game, only the $17.99, in any case, if I'm wrong, my bad.

Hey guys,

We're thinking about doing another coupon code for people to use on games on sale. I want to name this one after SA and want you guys to pick the name (within reason of course). I need an 8 character string to use. Here's what I've come up with:

1. Goonrock
2. Goonsave
3. Gooncoup
4. Gooooons

Thoughts?
