Ah, shoot, serves me right for making a purchase without checking 🙁 Still, it looks like the latest patch got rid of the DRM, so it is okay to DL it from D2D.

Thanks for the heads up, Lewie!

In reply to Pesforozo. It doesn't say "This product is not eligible for refunds" like some games do, so you might be lucky.

In reply to Lewie Procter. That's okay, buyer beware and all that. I'll ask if I can get a refund from D2D, but it seems a bit cheeky when the reason is I wanted it on a competitor's platform.

In reply to Pesforozo. Oh, very sorry about that. I remembered that copies from other places did register on Steam, I guess D2D copies don't. I've corrected the post.

I just plucked for this, but it added tax, totalling £3.64.

On top of that, I can’t find a way to activate it on Steam. The activation code doesn’t work, and looking at the list of retail games that can be added (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-wusf-3601) it’s not there.

So unless I’m being a wally, I’m feeling a bit miffed.

In reply to Ash. It only works in the US store. If your are on the UK or European site you have to change it on the top right of the site.

Are you one the USA site? Sometimes it redirects you to the UK site. You can change it at the top right.

Doesn’t work for me: “Your coupon or discount is not valid for the product in your cart.”
