A very cool deal from Paradox.  Thanks for the heads up.

If anyone is thinking of taking advantage of the 55% off deal for Warlock, just a heads up that Gamersgate (http://www.gamersgate.com/games?prio=relevance&q=warlockmidweek) has it cheaper right now...

...oddly enough Europa Universalis III Chronicles doesn't show up on Steam?

OK, nevermind.  It doesn't show up if you search for it, but it does show up under Europa Universalis III Complete..go figure.

Yeah, it's there but you have to go the EU III complete then scroll down to see that it's included in the Europa Universalis III Chronicles bundle.

Hmmm.  My code didn't get me Chronicles, it just got me Complete.  I hate to sound ungrateful but...

huw got me wondering so I checked the keys i received and i have keys for eu 3, heir to the throne and divine wind so it looks like everything is in order on my end.

Oh yeah, I seem to have them too even though Chronicles itself is still listed as "available to buy" rather than "already owned".  Weird.  Why not just provide a key for the actual Chronicles title, instead of everything separately?

Still.  Very generous of Paradox!  I think I've acquired more of their games for free than I've paid money for! :D

I only had one code that gave my Complete, but if I check the DLC section of Properties I can see Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind in there.

Hey guys,

I have EUIII but not that complete or chronicles version.

If anyone has an EXTRA key, as in you got a key but you don't need it, if you want to give it away I'll take it.

Now, even though I own EUIII I've never actually played it, so I'm not sitting around moping because I don't have the complete version- so you know, I don't like have to have one of these keys!  But, if you have one laying around and you were just going to delete it, think of your old buddy Toonces.... 8)

Aloha, Toonces!

Well I already own EU3 plus all three expansions, but I'm still annoyed I didn't get an email about this.  (Yes, I'm signed up for the newsletter.  Yes, that one too.)

Their servers have been taking a pasting today; I'd wait until tomorrow before concluding you didn't get the email.  (Don't forget to check spam folders too of course)

Toonces, I've already registered mine I'm afraid.  Hopefully someone else comes along who already has it all.  You might want to check Reddit too, particularly the Paradox subreddit; there will probably be keys going.

^ Fair point Huw


toonces, if mine does eventually show up, I'll PM you, as I obviously I don't need it.  :)

Thanks for posting this.. I wouldn't have thought to look in my Spam folder otherwise.. since I already own it, maybe I'll give it to my 13 year old.. one less time for him to log into my Steam Account (although my copy of EU3 is GamersGate so not effected)

I've got EUIII and the 3 DLCs on Gamersgate...don't need Chronicles on GG and Steam, so my code is available as well.

Finally got HOI 3 because of the sale.
BTW, their store is powered by Digital River.
But the games are in Steam.
