Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes for $5 on Amazon Download.

kerzain · 2011-12-23T07:14:28.000Z

That is a steal. Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes is one of my top purchases for 2011.

Also, it’s Steamworks. I haven’t dabbled with the online community, but I play against my wife almost on a daily basis. You need to play through the campaign to unlock everything for the multi-player, but even if you don’t you can still play online in the meantime.

BUY EEET.

Sweet, I’ve been waiting for this to get cheap. Thanks for pointing it out.

That’s tempting, but I played the hell out of it on DS and I just associate it too strongly with on-the-go play.

Put it on iOS and I’ll buy two copies in a heartbeat so I can play with my wife.

It was supposed to be coming out for the iOS and frankly I have no idea what is taking them so long.

I’m guessing from the Amazon sale that neither Heroes VI or Settlers 7 activate on Steam. Anyone know for sure?

Amazon has a bunch of good stuff, actually. Some highlights:

Only available to US customers. #@%#!% Amazon.

I can’t believe how badly Steam is getting undercut but other digital download services during this sale. I’ve spent a lot of time looking at that list of stuff that registers on Steam this year.

kerzain · 2011-12-23T10:17:28.000Z

Companies have been getting thoroughly smashed by Steam in recent years, and watching from the sidelines while Steam just eats up the benefits. They’re taking a page from the same book. All that’s missing (aside from multiplayer stuffs) is Amazonworks, Greenmangamningworks… etc.

I just took advantage of the THQ UK deal that is 24 bucks but it comes with all of the DLC and Future DLC.

Actually, I don’t think it comes with all the DLC. If it’s the Season Pass, then it only comes with the Nytblade DLC and the promise of three DLC mission packs to be release next year. You don’t get any of the other DLC packs.

I think it’s awesome since it proves there is still competition even with Steam being so dominant.

So, you’re basically buying a broken game at this point if you have an ATI card.

All your games are essentially broken in one way or another if you have an ATI card.

Heroes VI is $20 on Amazon right now.

Hell yeah!

Amazon is kicking Steam’s ass this year…

Boy, I’m really glad you’re completely full of shit here, or I’d be unhappy with mine. Thankfully, I never bothered with Rage, and that other stuff that isn’t compatible.

Daagar · 2011-12-23T11:03:47.000Z

Ugh… I’ve been avoiding Settlers 7 cause of the whole Ubi thing, but that’s a nice price. What am I missing by not being able to activate it on Steam?

I love it!

Smart move by the other digital distribution sites. They shift the cost of the transmission of the gaming files to Valve.
