Blood Bowl Legendary Edition has been $10 on another site for over a year. Most of those games have been on sale on Steam plenty of times before. Nice of you to copy and paste this for everyone here but there isn't anything there worth getting worked up over.

Some good deals there if you don't want to wait for a Steam sale.

Sure, these have been that cheap on Steam at some time in the last X years, but if you feel like playing Bioshock or Divinity II this month it's nice not to have to wait for a summer sale or even xmas.

Yeah I really can't argue with that. It just didn't excite me as I already have most of these games.

It's coming up $7.49 for me, so Amazon must have updated their prices.

Tempted to pick up Tera to give it a try whenever the sale on it lands.

Great price on FFXI for the few who might be interested, also FFXIV's massive 2.0 "re-launch" is scheduled for later this year, I have no idea though if $7.49 now is a good deal or not.

I watched a couple of video reviews on Divinity 2 and it looks like I'll picking that one up when I get home. Not sure how I missed that when it was released.

Last I looked #1 in sales on Steam @$30.

Any idea if this can be bought here and registered on Steam?

The Amazon copy is not Steam activatible, so no. If you want the game on Steam then you'll have to buy it from Steam.

Apparently because of how DayZ has exploded in popularity, the devs are planning on putting the game on Steam sale very soon. So hold tight. I actually ended up buying it at full-price anyway because I couldn't wait any longer. Totally worth it, too; I'm enjoying the hell out of DayZ.

I don't mind giving Bohemia Interactive my money anyway.
