Hi All,
Hope this is the right place to get an answer. I bought Victoria 2 and A House Divided from Gamesgate two years ago. Now I'd like to take Heart of Darkness on Steam but it seems the Steam version won't be compatible with the Gamesgate's ones. Could you please help me on this topic by giving me a few suggestions how to procede?

Many Thanks

I don't know about Steam->Gamersgate but I know that if you had the base game from Steam and bought GG DLC on top, it would still patch the files into your Steam folder. I don't know if it's reversible since Steam tend to require that you have the base game downloaded ON Steam before you even buy the DLC.

If Gamergate gave you an activation key for the game you could try entering that on Steam, but I doubt it will work. Chances are you'll have to buy the whole thing on Steam. Unless you pirate the loose DLC files.

If you do end up rebuying it on steam, you can buy the base game+all expansions and dlc(except one sprite pack, 67 cents on sale anyway), with Victoria I complete for only $10 during a Winter or Summer sale, half the price of the Heart of Darkness expansion normally($20). Alternatively, Base game is on sale on steam right now for $5, with a House Divided for $4 and Heart of Darkness for $8, $17 total, though without any other sprite packs and such. If you can wait, I'd recommend waiting for the steam winter sale to get the Victoria collection and the sprite pack left out for $10.67. If you can't, you can just get Victoria 2, a house divided, and Heart of Darkness and wait until the Winter sale for the sprite packs.
