Wanting to buy A Heart of Darkness

[Phantom077]

I have Victoria 2 and A House Divided in my game library, on GamersGate, and today, I wanted to purchase A Heart of Darkness through GamersGate, but it is not available.

Is there anyway I can transfer my ownership of V2 and AHD expansion, to my Steam account, so I can purchase AHD expansion?

That's correct. No non-Steam variant available anymore.

I suppose you meant to say "so i can purchase HoD expansion".
No

Have to buy it all again.
I'd suggest to wait for a sale. Best sale prices (50% and higher) are often outside Steam itself.
For example on GreenManGaming and Gamesplanet and of course HumbleBundle.
Not right now though. The last few weeks there were good sales for the Victoria Colllection (includes everything) at the mentioned spots.

I was fortunate to find the last expansion at Amazon last year, but it may be Steam-exclusive now (I had originally bought the game on CD, and had to re-purchase it as a download because the on-disc protection won't work under Windows 10). They listed both expansions for sale for years, but were "out of stock" on the one until that brief period where I was able to grab them both. Good luck.

You need to buy them again thus you shall help funding the creation of Victoria 3

One problem is that Steam expansions and base games will ONLY work with Steam expansions and base games, you cannot mix and match sources if any of them are through Steam. I had no problem using a GamersGate expansion on a CD game, and then adding a GOG or Amazon expansion to that, but Steam does not play well with others.

Basically, I suspect that your only options are to buy it all again through Steam, or else wait until V3 comes out and V2 and its expansions are released for sale on GOG and/or other sites.

Sorry for my late response.

Just yesterday, I saw that Victoria 2 Complete is on sale now, on Steam for a significant discount, so I bought it. Woo hoo!

Yep. I bought V2 and all the expansions twice. Best investment in gaming, ever.
