Apologies if this is somewhat of a crosspost between video cards and PC gaming... but since it's an AMD video card offer, here it goes:

I bought a 7950 which came with a three-game bundle.
But I am not a Steam/Origin user. I don't really like these services, and am not interested in using them (or installing their clients on my gaming computer). It's just not something I trust (I don't use iTunes either). I prefer having my own media, installing games wherever I want, and not being bound by mandatory internet connections.

Under these circumstances, do I have any options to obtain physical copies (discs) of any games included in the AMD bundle, or am I just dreaming?

no.

edit: you should also be aware that the never settle "forever" bundle also expires on Dec. 31 for the 7950.

Also be aware that the keys can run out. I had a coupon for Bioshock Infinite and when I redeemed it they told me they were out of keys, the apologized and let me pick another game which was fine but I wanted the one that came with the card.

I can understand the hesitation of using the online gaming services but I would certainly give them a try. Steam is great, I have no issues buying digital media now.

Nope you get the dl codes for, steam; uplay etc. not the physical copies. You can sell the codes on ebay and use them to get the hard copies.....those some will use steam either way

On the same vein of though:

I bought two gigabyte 290's last monday from newegg. I don't see any game codes in the boxes or anything. Also no BF4?

How can I reclaim AMD's never settle or the BF4?

I think most have had good luck by contacting AMD directly to get BF4 codes.

Only the boxes that have BF4 logos on them contain BF4 codes. Some R9 290s do not come with the codes. Retailers usually charge extra for the boxes with the BF4 codes in them.
