I just checked about the blue coins and it is about 5-7% of purchase price. So if you buy Victoria 2+AHD for $13 you get 673 blue coins which is about $0.67. I mainly spend it on DLCs that I would not otherwise pay for such as a new portraits pack for Crusader Kings 2.
That doesn't sound bad. Still I think the 75% off deal of gamestop is the best deal around at the very moment. Still something to consider.
Curse you for breaking through my steam-inertia
Edit: Did get the core game and the expansion. Haven't preordered HOD yet - I don't particularly see the benefit.
I did it this way:
The paradox webshop is still in beta so they lack a lot of titles... Victoria 2 was only recently added I'm pretty sure, but yeah, how they somehow forgot to add AHD is a rather serious blunder given the preorder... I did already have the game on CD (bought directly from paradox) and AHD as a non-steam expansion (bought from amazon)... so in honor of HoD I bought me the steam key for Victoria 2 with the discount from the paradox webshop, the steam key for AHD from amazon (which also had a discount
Worked perfectly. Now to see about the sprites and such

it is worth buying it but it is really different from the vanilla game as i found out today, also all of your save games will convert if you are on steam.
I have not played House Divided (even though I bought it yesterday). Waiting for HOD to complete the package, then wait another week for pop demand mod to be compatible then hopefully start playing Vicky2 again. That's my plan.
Just bought 'A House Divided' at Gamestop (old Impulse), which is not Steam driven. I too await the 'Heart of Darkness' expansion to be available there as well.
I absolutely hate how for PC Vicky2+AHD is now $7.50, while the same game for Mac is $50.00 ... why so unfair? it's already hard for us mac users to find good games, why do you punish us? I can't believe this stupid system. I just want the game, but I just can't do it knowing that I could be getting it for less than a fraction of the price if my OS was different. Curse the fates
IIRC it's because the distribution rights to the Mac port are with the company that was hired to port it. So if they still want to sell it for $50 they can and ain't nothing Paradox can do about it.
Then just don't get a Mac? If you buy a Mac you should know that not a lot of games will be offered at decent prices^^
And they're doing it all just to spite you personally.
It's true. I was at the table when the League of Evil decided, specifically, that all Mac Users would forever be confined to inferior and delayed ports of PC games at monstrous prices. It has absolutely nothing to do with lower sales meaning a higher price is necessary to finance the port. Blame the League of Evil.
