For anyone that cares, the Amazon summer sale has started.  Too many games on sale, the full list can be found on reddit.

All those links have child's play referrals.

I might finally be ready to pick up ANNO 2070 with everything and the DRM removed for $25.

There's a few other gems in that list.  XCOM, Civ 4, and Civ 5 bundled for $20?   awesome, for real

Still has multiple forms of DRM as far as I can tell.

Damn.  Still, the amount of content they've added + price reduction makes it lucrative.  I've got that city-builder/sim itch that ANNO 1404 can't scratch anymore.

I can't find where Amazon posts information about DRM or if codes can be used on Steam.

Amazon is shitty for buying digital things.

Yes it is. On Steam people are saying Anno 2070 still has all the Uplay DRM (which Amazon Implies as well) and Tages as well.

When you click on an item it shows "DRM: Steam" if it has steam.  On that reddit list most of the items that say "online game code" have that

For example: at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DC8Q5B0/ref=cm_sw_su_dp?tag=childsplaycha-20 (2nd itme on the list) top right under the title it says DRM:Steam

Far Cry 2 worth $2.50? If it's anything like the Wii version, it is not.

I grabbed this. Nice deal. Been wanting to play Crusader Kings II for a while and I get a bunch of other stuff with it too.

The Borderlands Bundleganza which is Borderlands GOTY, Borderlands 2, and the BL2 season pass for $22 is worth it for anyone who doesn't own those yet. It's actually rare for the Season Pass to go on sale at all, so yeah, buy this shit if you don't have but want Borderlands 2. Otherwise, Borderlands 2 for $15 is pretty good but just not worth it by comparison.

The Secret World for $10 is worth it even if you're just playing it through like a single player game

That is pretty nice, Magicka alone is pretty good fun if you have someone to play with, though single player wasn't that great imo for the little bit I was playing it for.

I thought the control scheme of Magicka was terrible, so I couldn't get much enjoyment out of it. However, I really liked the art and humor.

Assuming you don't need/want BL1 Green Man Gaming has BL2 + Season Pass for like 13 bucks with this 10% code: GMG10-U49LX-GAE17

http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/rpgs/borderlands-2-and-season-pass/

As Seg said, between the base game and the latest, awesome DLC you would be hard pressed to get less then thirteen bucks worth of fun out of the deal.

I liked the combos from the magic types but I'd definitely say that the movement could have been improved. I was able to overlook that because all the effects playing off each other it was a good deal of fun for a $5 price tag (more so in multiplayer).

I don't see Civ 5 alone on there; checking amazon.com it's sitting at 26.48 which is still a bit too high for my price range. I could get it for $20 bundled with two games I already own, but I'd still like it to come lower. Ideally I'd like a deep discount on the base game + expansions.

I picked up Civ 5 for like 5 bucks in some sale a few months ago. I'm sure it should be ten or less come the steam sale. Especially with Firaxis wanting people to buy the new expansion.

It appears to be $58.98.

Can someone check and see if it's some sort of AU localisation or if it's simply expired?

Ah yes, I checked it out and found it's part of a stupidly short series of promotions noted by the meltdown of their servers.

By the way, big thanks Ragnoros! I grabbed BL2 with season pass for $13.50 total and it's a blast.

I bought it since the season pass is still cheaper with the deal and the 10% off coupon.

Can I just give out the Borderland's 2 key here?
