As the title says, does the 10% discount only apply if you purchased EU III from Steam? I have EU III and all of the expansions but I bought them through GamersGate. I added EU III to my steam games library but when I go to the steam store to pre-order EU IV, I still am not showing a discount.

Thanks for your help!

You'll still get a key for Steam, so go buy it on GG for sure. It's the same base price, and with modifiers you'll get a better price on GG. I only found out about this today, and my EU3 is bought on GG while I pre-ordered EU4 on Steam a week or two ago. Oh well.

I was originally going to pre-order on Steam but I can't find reason to anymore. The Gamersgate version is Steam anyway. With the 10% discount and the $2 worth of blue coins, it's effectively $6 cheaper for me on Gamersgate. And my CK2 copy is there too for the converter.

One thought to avoiding purchases on Gamersgate: I predict Gamersgate goes under as a company within 5 years. The shrinking PC market combined with STEAM's continued dominance bodes ill for essentially a poor man's STEAM.

You can cancel your preorders with Steam if you contact customer support, shouldn't be an issue.

Heads up guys, EU4 is likely cheapest on Greenman Gaming (EU4). They're offering $7/$8 cash back (standard/digital extreme) or $10/$12 GMG credit.
