Any ETA for Steam version? Any problem if I buy it elsewhere (Both my Vic 2 + AHD were from Steam).
 
Is it possible to use the Heart of Darkness and the House Divided Addons in your shop with a Vic 2 Steam version?
And why is there no Steam-Version of HoD?

EDIT: Sry, I did not see the post from Beagá

I bought a physical cd when Vicky II came out. I bought AHD from the Steam. Now it says about HoD that I can't order it because I don't have a steam version of it. How it was possible to purchase AHD via Steam but not HoD?

E: By the way, I have a Steam version of Vicky II if I get it right. When I click Vicky I got Vicky news coming to that game-screen. Not blank like when you import non-steam game to Steam and play via it.
 
Is GameStop (formerly Impulse) still selling the expansion?
 
Actually I have purchased Vicky II complete with DLC:s and Victoria I, so it is quite odd that I can't purchase HoD...
 
I'm pretty sure that the steam version hasn't been released for sale yet as there is no price tag next to it when searching their store. I've heard the time of about 6pm GMT thrown around for likely availability through the steam store itself.
 
I just bought Victoria 2 HoD through Gamersgate though my Victoria 2 is from Amazon. Once I've downloaded the files it says that Victoria 2 can't be found? I've been eagerly anticipating this DLC and am gutted I can't play it. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks
 
Will a digital download be available through Amazon anytime in the near future?

I went ahead and purchased through GamersGate, I'm too eager to play it.

Does it require VicII and AHD to be on Steam? I have them on gamestop and it's giving me an activation code for the steam verison after I bought it on gamestop. I hope I don't have to buy VicII & AHD again..

Wait, is HoD on Impulse now??
 
Wait do you mean I can purchase the "other" version from them then? Also Gamestop hides the codes in the email-receipt from what I remember.
 
Yes you can buy it off gamestop, but no it's giving me an activation code for Steam.

I got the same thing. Very annoying because I've stopped buying games on Steam that I don't have to, and so my Vicky2 stuff is on Impulse because it went on sale.

I'm guessing it's because they don't have the full download yet? Because the game page says nothing about requiring Steam.

I just told the same thing to Gamestop support. I'll post what they say, because now it says that it requires Steam and what not.
 
So I bought the digital download versions of Victoria II and A House Divided a long time ago both from amazon market place, and am a big fan. Now when I bought Heart of Darkness from Amazon as well, I figured it would be compatible with the other two, but since it requires steam, I just coughed up 20 dollars for a game I can't use. Please, is there any way I could get a refund or exchange the codes for the digital copies of Victoria II and AHD registered to me for steam ones?
