No need to worry so much about your card ... as long as you do it at a reputable site. GamersGate is a good choice. They might have it on sale, if you are lucky. I guess it is no less secure than throwing your card around on Steam

haha maybe I'll try, ive just always used steam and no other websites for downloads...and thats because i have been using steam and trust it, and havn't tried other sites for paying and downloading

I use my credit card online all the time in many different sites, and have never had any problems at all. Besides, danish banking regulations mean that if it ever got abused or stolen, I am not held responsible. Banks will cover any loses I might have had.

But as I said, try out Gamers Gate ... they are a subsidiary under Paradox Interactive

Seconding GamersGate. Generally speaking you don't want to buy Paradox games through Steam anyway as there are inevitably beta patches, mods, expansions etc and Steam has a one-size-fits-all mentality that doesn't work with that.

CK in particular is this way because to 'mod' it you are actually overwriting the main game files. They have Complete for 20 bucks on GamersGate at the moment.

Most Paradox games are easy to convert into non-Steam games. I bought EU3, Victoria 2 and HOI3 all on Steam, and I don't run any of them through Steam because I hate it. Just copy the folder out of the Steam folder and manually patch it with a non-Steam patch and your game will run fine.

Not that that matters though, since CK isn't on Steam.

Steam is fine most of the time, but it's really terrible for most paradox games, or other games that weren't specifically built for it in mind.
