Pre-order Crusader Kings II live!

[King_Duncan]

The delay in getting CKII available for pre-order on Steam (which probably also caused the delay of CKII's release) must be great news for GamersGate - I imagine it will net them a fair few customers who would otherwise have gone for the Steam version.

 

[Featauril]

I vastly prefer GG anyway, its great news that the preorder is the same and that it wont need to be steam-activated

 

[Wezqu]

Not going to buy it from GG and will buy it from Steam even if I have to wait to the release date.

 

[Arko]

but you don't get the preorder bonus through Amazon

ok missed that point. I preordred on GG as I can already preorder it and there is no drawback there.

Isn't it possible to connect games bought elsewhere to your steam-account? If not steam is more
lame than I thought ^^

You don't have it in steam

Can I use the key from the pre-order from Gamersgate to register my game in Steam?

You can do that with certain games. Here is the short list of games so far: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

You can't register the game, but you will be able to put it on steam and open it from there (you can with all games) if thats something you want to.

You don't have it in steam

Which is a bonus as far as I am concerned

Question about preorder. I already bought mine, but i was wondering. On release date, do Gamersgate servers get saturated because of the big amounts of downloads?

 

[monoxism]

I've bought heaps of games on GG on launch day, from Paradox titles to AAA titles like Mass Effect 2, and I have never had an issue with serverload. Every game I've ever downloaded from GG has been at full speed without any interruptions.

 

[Zghuk]

I would like to buy via GG, but the payment options are so complicated. I dont like paypal and I want to buy with my CC, but there's no direct CC option... so why?

Creditcard through moneybrookers works fine for me personally.

Great! As i only have the 14th and half of the 15th to play So i want a speedy download!

It has been on the steam registry since about the 13th IIRC

 

[cccino]

I'll preorder if there's a unique icon (medal) for doing so.

Sold. I've seen pre-order icons.

But this doesn't mean I've changed my mind about hating the microtransactions business model. :ninja:

Not that I noticed it before. But I only have ~3k DSL anyway which is kind of slow ^^

 

[nyah]

Amazon have emailed me to tell me they've run out of stock and don't know when it'll be in. Hopefully before release, otherwise I'll be buying a download. I'm a bit annoyed, and I'm not sure who is at fault - this has only happened once before to me with a game pre-order, and that was EU-rome.
