Europa Universalis III: Chronicles is 50% off ($14.99) right now. It's just a decent discount, but if you bought Paradox Plentiful Pack before, you're qualified for $23 promotional credit for the game, which makes it totally FREE. Grab it now while Tony is still playing with his puppies!

That's the physical copy that a seller is selling.

This is the Download version (though i'm not fully sure if its DRM free since Amazon would place a note at times)

Pretty sure it's DRM-free, at least it was when I bought it.
Apologies fixed the link and price.
edit:YES DL version is DRM free.
YOU'VE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME, NELO ICE!
I really want Mass Effect 1 but it doesn't activate on Steam or on Origin.
does SF activate on Steam?
Tony, is Quantum Conundrum DRM-free or do I need to use Steam again?
Hey Tony do you guys plan to beat some of Steam's sales again whenever their summer sale starts? I know you guys did some in the winter one, like I bought MW3 on Steam for $45 I think it was and you guys offered it for $30 I believe later in the day. I love that kind of competition.
Tony, is Quantum Conundrum DRM-free or do I need to use Steam again?
So far it appears to be Steam only.
We haven't seen any recent Squenix/Eidos titles drop Steamworks for anyone.
Damnit Tony can't wait to see what you guys have in store.
Yeah this is going to be so good.
Holy shit @ that $7.49 one.
Hey Tony, how come none of the Paradox bundles have any of the Mount & Blade games? Too many strategy games imo.
Good question, we've run Paradox bundles in the past with M&B in them and they didn't perform nearly as well as the strategy packs. We'll look at another one with M&B in it, but I try to build things that people tell me they want to buy (by voting with their wallet).
Cheers,
Tony
How about something older that rolls in the better RPGs? I'd love to get Baldur's Gate II along with some other great games in a bundle.
FYI Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is currently $10 for the fighting gamers out there!

I bought this and can't get the install to work. Evidently I'm not alone. Be careful.

What's the actual problem you're having?
I get this error when I install: 0x800b0100
It gets maybe 10% through when the error pops up.
If I try to go through "game.msi" instead of setup.exe (something I've seen online at a few places), I get an error about media1.cab.
PC GAMING
Thanks for the heads up and more importantly sorry for the inconvenience. I'm going to forward this over to our operations team for investigation. I'm also going to hit up our CS group to see if this is widespread.
Thanks again, and apologies for the inconvenience.
Cheers,

This has been going on for a long time and it's a travesty that it has not been addressed yet. Why don't you add crc checking and build re-download mechanism of individual files into your d/l manager. Maybe you know, make it easier for your customers. Being a good storefront isn't always about sale prices.
PC GAMING
That's an awesome suggestion, and RPGs are definitely some of our bread and butter (thank you Dragon Age and Divinity II ).
The deal with packs/bundles is we currently only bundle stuff from the same publisher together, as cool as it would be to put together an "RPG all star pack" the logistics behind doing so are insane.
Not saying it could never happen, but right now I don't see it in the immediate future.
Cheers,
Tony
Thanks for the feedback, I forward this kind of feedback on to our engineering team whenever I see it. I don't have any specific information on this particular issue, if I get some I will definitely share it with you guys.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience. We definitely don't want our customers to experience any friction in their purchase/download/installation process.
Cheers,
Tony
1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD VERSION, June 15, 2012
By Dao - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition [Download] (Software Download)
This review is not about the content of the game, nor is it about the other versions of the game--this review chronicles my brief and bad experience with the PC Digital Download version of this game. As for the quality of the game itself, it is superb. If you haven't played it, get it...but be careful and limit your exposure time otherwise it will absorb your social life for a week or two.
Here I will list my reasons for why you should only get the PC hard copy or console versions of this game:
1.) The physical PC copy is cheaper than the download! It's about $15 vs. $25.
2.) Amazon's download support is NOT TO BE TRUSTED AT THIS TIME. I downloaded ALL 12.40 gigabytes only for an error message to pop up when it was extracting saying nothing tangible or coherent. After the error message, the slate was wiped clean; my completed download progress was erased and I had to start over. NOT HAPPENING. 12.4 gigabytes costs a lot of $$$ in terms of bandwidth; it is a ridiculously huge amount. That's MONTHS of internet capacity. And unless you have a really solid and high-speed internet connection, it will take a whole week to download. Furthermore, other reviewers (search below) have had issues of corrupted files around the 70% progress mark. Maybe in the future Amazon will be able to deliver reliable digital downloads, but NOT NOW! Do not buy.
3.) In my experience Amazon's customer service has been entirely unhelpful with this issue. After I described the problem for them, they said "we could not determine the exact reason you have encountered this problem". Again, nix the digital download version--not reliable.
Conclusion: I have bona-fide buyer's remorse! I definitely should have gotten the physical version. The worst part about this is that Amazon's policy does NOT ALLOW RETURNS for digital download software products!
On the bright side the price for the PC hard copy is the cheapest you'll find anywhere. And considering that it's loaded with every extra expansion content they made for this game, it's a fantastic deal, take it. Just NOT THE DOWNLOAD VERSION.
Have a great day everyone!
Hmmm. So when I check BGII, Hasbro is the publisher.
And they also published these gems, apparently:
Baldur's Gate I and II
Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition
Planescape: Torment
Icewind Dale Complete 1 and 2
The Temple of Elemental Evil (no idea what this is)
D&D: Dragonshard
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone (apparently an underrated gem)
Now THAT could be an interesting pack!
