As far as I know Gamersgate is available both for US and Europe and you can only download KB.

Nike-it, do you have any information on whether or when will the game be available on Steam or Stardock Impulse?

Weird, as I'm in Australia and it gives a US price, which is good as the exchange rate to the US Dollar is much more favourable than to the Euro. I'm paying 50% of the usual Australian retail price for this game, which I guess is why I like Gamersgate so much.

Besides i don't want to end up in a new system just for the sake of one game.

Go re-read my email. I posted exactly how it works when using paypal. I made no mention of contacting people for this or that. No paypal accounts. No fake charges. Entire process from clicking "Buy Kings Bounty" to finish is about 1 minute depending on how long it takes you to type your info.


The other great thing about Gamers Gate is that event though you need to use their download tool (which *does* support resume if you lose your connection), is that once it downloads, it downloads a real honest independent installer. You can take this installer and save it on a dvd or whatever and you never need to download it again if you do not want to.

For example, my KB finished downloading and I have these files:

09/23/2008  04:53 AM    DIR          .
09/23/2008  04:53 AM    DIR          ..
09/23/2008  04:53 AM    DIR          bin
09/23/2008  04:53 AM    DIR          ggdata

               5 File(s)  2,061,067,355 bytes

All ready to archive for future use. I can't say enough good things about GG. Their old download tool was pretty crappy especially for Vista. Their latest download tool is much better.

p.s. Hey Jetau, still playing UFOET?

[Imperial Dane]

Ahh.. Cool bman.. hadn't seen that.

Still curious about a boxed edition date as i want that.. sure i might be paying twice.. but i think it is worth it

Hi,

Just got it of off GG. But I am having problems with the .net framework - lol
Should I move my questions to the technical section or ?

Why, why?

Atari's site doesn't ask for CC but you get email, serial.. downloaded and installed fine for me. Guess we'll see, i'm in the states not sure how it would work for our Euro friends.
