do you need any client, or other such authenticating nonsense?
if not that is brilliant, they are basically providing the same service as GoG, publisher permitting, and it is definitely where i will purchase vicky2 from!

No, you create an account, log on the website and download the game from anywhere at anytime. No other program required.
Re: Sales on Gamersgate
What happens is that you download a small application for each game that functions as a downloader. Once the files are downloaded, it installs the game for you. Before the installer completes(before you click finish), you can grab all the setup files for backup. I usually stick them on an external hard drive so I don't even need to redownload if I want to reinstall a game....Originally Posted by Furunculus
So yeah... It's a pretty cool system.

Hmmm, Fort Zombie for $2.50? It's probably terrible, but I'll admit to being tempted by it several times. I might pay that price just to satisfy my curiosity.

Re: Sales on Gamersgate
The part of this discussion about games on sale should be in the Special Offers Thread!.
I'll keep this thread separate since it has turned into a Q&A about how Gamersgate works.

Re: Sales on Gamersgate
I so wished I used Steam for Victoria 2 instead of giving Gamergate a try. It is £5 cheaper on steam and you get Victoria 1 Complete for free.
This always happens every-time I experiment with a Paradox product. First GG purchase as well.
[Though, if some one desperately wants it on GG still and not fussy with it being on an separate account. I would be happy to do a trade.
Gift it to me on Steam (with V1), I'll give you that code for the shiney Paradox icon, and I will give that GG account. ]

Re: Sales on Gamersgate
Personally, I'd choose GG over Steam, if for no other reason than that the former is less intrusive than the latter. I purchased EU3: Heir to the Throne from GamersGate, and was delighted by how hassle-free it was.
