Hey CAGS,

I’ve got some news I’m both excited and sad to share with you at the same time. I’ll be leaving the Digital Video Games team in Mid-March to join the marketing team for Amazon.com’s Loyalty and Rewards program, Amazon Coins. My boss and I have talked extensively about how to maintain and continue our presence here and across the other communities we’ve created in the past couple of years. To that end I’d like to introduce you to Josh, who take over monitoring, updating, and responding to this thread. Josh will be ramping up over the next couple of weeks, he  will be posting shortly to introduce himself.

Now that the “what’s going on” part of the message is out of the way I want to tell you all how much I love CAG and the posters here. This was the first community I joined when I started this job (anyone still remember that first thread?) and all of you have had a huge hand in shaping how we think about and execute Community Development and Management here at Amazon, which has in turn shaped my career these last two and a half years.

I started to write out a section calling out the regular posters and realized the list would be both overly long and incomplete at the same time. Instead I’d like to thank you all again, you all have my deep and sincere gratitude. I’ll still be around and my gaming accounts aren’t going anywhere so feel free to hit me up anytime you want to chat. I’ll probably still hang out in the thread too :).

Thanks again everyone, let me or Josh know if you have any questions!

The Indie Store has launched!
Amazon.com is launching a storefront dedicated to supporting and promoting PC/Mac/Web-based Indie Games. Our Digital Video Games team is a small group of passionate gamers and we’re all really excited to help Indie developers reach more customers quickly by providing a quick and simple process for bringing their games to market. Additionally we’ll be supporting the Indie Store with a ton of promotions, both at and after launch. Many of these promotions are designed to give the developer the opportunity to maximize their revenue. For example, Amazon is forfeiting all royalties from bundle sales and passing them along directly to the developer, we’ve also created an “Indie Spotlight” program to help customers learn more about the games and developers they love. We view the Indie developers as some of the most creative in the industry and we want to help them continue to create new and innovative experience for customers.

Why we are doing this:

  • Allow customers to discover an entirely new category of games on Amazon.com
  • Help developers reach new customers quickly. Our onboarding process is straightforward and we want to sell every Indie game available
  • We want to leverage our strengths to support and help the developers who are driving forward innovation and creativity in the games industry
General Information

Hi CAGs,
I'll be posting deals we're running on Digital Games (PC/Mac, Free to Play, Sony/Microsoft Points/Subs).

I'm also here to answer questions you might have, get you closer to the developers by hosting Q&As, setting up podcasts, live streaming gameplay etc. If I don't respond to a question you have in thread please send me a PM. These ping my email address and make it more likely that I will see your question and respond more quickly.

Cheers,
Tony


FYI. EA Games sold by Amazon will not activate on Steam.
F.A.Q.S.:

1. Does the game I'm buying from Amazon Activate on Steam/Origin/Uplay? What DRM does the game use?

There are two places to identify DRM on a digital video game detail page:

At the top of the page, below the title:

16hm7a8.png


In the "Product Description" section:

r06ykl.jpg


2. Note on Electronic Arts Games - For the most part, EA games sold on Amazon do not activate on Steam. Most activate on Origin.

3. Note on DRM with limited activations:

Our Policy



4. Sometimes I'll do giveaways.

5. I work with developers and publishers to get fun (or at least what I think is fun) content to share with you all. Here are some examples:

a. Check out the Pax Gameplay videos here: Xcom: Enemy Unknown I played Xcom with Jake, the Creative Director for the game, a few months before the game came out Also, on this page, check out the Q&A, also a community driven event.

b. Check out the interview on this page: Borderlands 2 we did this interview at E3 with Randy Pitchford this year.

c. We've partnered with the ++GoodGames Podcast to feature many of the games we carry. They talk to the developers about the game development process, how the games are conceptualized and managed, all kinds of fun stuff. I'm working on putting together full link list and will update when I have it.

What else do we sell?

Xbox Live Points and Subscriptions:

1600 Microsoft Live Points
4000 Microsoft Live Points
12 Month XBOX Live Subscription
3 Month XBOX Live Subscription]
12 Month + 1 XBOX Live Subscription

PSN+ Subscriptions and PSN Points:

$20 PSN Points
$50 PSN Points
12 Month PSN+ Subscription
3 Month PSN+ Subscription

We also have a Free-2-Play store supported by our GameConnect technology. Gameconnect allows you to link your Amazon.com account with free-2-play and MMO accounts so that you can buy things like in game currency, premium game time/subscriptions, in game items, etc. on Amazon.com using your Amazon.com payment options and have this content delivered directly into your game.

5. Price Matching notes: Generally we do not match international retailers (GMG, Gamersgate, etc) or physical retailers (Best Buy, Newegg.com, etc.)
To check out the Free-2-Play games we offer you can visit our storefront here: Free-2-Play Store

I'm just checking intermittently on my phone. Watching the Saints game. Household chores and kid duty after the game. I'd probably get to add one later tonight.

Now expectations of an avatar are so high, I've got performance anxiety.

Just don't go off prematurely and you won't have to worry too much about performance.

 
Here if you

If you use this one you will be both the most adored as well as the most viciously hated user here.

Burnout: Paradise: The "Ultimate" Box (so-called) -> Steam key

SNDM3-ADAM-NPM1ST

For the "Winner":

Since this is a EA game w/ a Steam-version, after downloading - check game w/ right-click w/in Steam and see if there's a CD-Key there.

That might register on Origin.

If not there or that doesn't work - go check the registry; i.e. Dead Space's key is in a certain location.

Sometimes, there's a key there - and it's possible that might be an Origin-version key.

Sometimes, there's no key there - i.e. check registry for C&C: RA3 Uprising, Steam-version.

Alright time to take it to a vote people. Has Fullmetal entertained us enough to warrant a freebie despite his lowly status as a non Avatar having fiend and allow him a grace period in which time he may choose an Avatar, or do we shun him forever despite the good times he has brought us. All those for him say yay All opposed say thee nay. I personally would say yay as long as he use the provided Avatar, but I shall leave him to the mercy of the community.

Yes that's the stuff. Nothing cleans out the old orbs quite like the knowledge that you will never have the misfortune of having to see such things again.

It's also great as a sexual lubricant... or so I've been told. Really helps to clean that dirty, dirty anus out! The bleeding afterwards is perfectly normal... according the reading materials I've found.

In the world of personal hygeine if skin is still intact you haven't cleaned well enough.

Wait, there is a giveaway going on? I thought everyone was just berating an avatarless individual.

A little from collumn A, a little from collumn B. He's kinda in the running for a free copy of Papo & Yo. But so far it seems only if he adopts this Avatar.

Well I just finished the campaign for 

1/10/2014 to 1/12/2014  Final Exam [Online Game Code] - 7.99 

Verdict: Buy it!

If it interests you at all buy it.  It's a good brawler, with a layered combat system, skill trees, stat points, up to 4-player net-play, Steam leader-boards, and your choice of 4-different classes to play and level.  It keeps pulling out new tricks until the end.

It took you 13 hours?!

I cuddled with kitty once and fell asleep for a few hours, I also replayed most of the levels once. As well as some afk time...

That's a strange comment coming from a lowly card-idler.

Well damn! Fullmetal apparently signed out. I suppose I shouldn't have dragged this on as long as I have. I guess it's time to take pity on the poor guy and send him his link for the game. Sure was fun while it lasted. I'm sure he'll appreciate it when next he logs in.
