Steam Autumn Sale: All Arcen Titles 40-75% Off
« on: November 22, 2012, 05:31:07 pm »
I know many of you already own several of these titles, but I still wanted to alert the forums as word of mouth from our regular players regarding past promotions has been really beneficial.

Hope everyone has a good weekend! (Whenever it starts for you this week.) :)

Really though you guys need some more exposure! Shame none of Arcen products made it to the top 100 indie list!

I gave a class speech about Arcen Games, but I mean it was to 20 college students so I doubt that got any customers.

Hello.. new here..

So I'm going to ask the proverbial question that I'm sure has been answered before. Would the key given by Steam work on a non-Steam game? The reason I'm asking is although I DO have Steam installed (because I have bought Iron grip from them and Civ V from Gamersgate which requires Steam) I abhor them. I have yet to even get them to recognize ANY of my store-bought retail games (trying to add them to it) even when I use my legit CD-keys (Bioshock most recently comes to mind.. it failed). So if I'm guessing, I can't add the game and expansions I bought here.. I can't do the reverse; buy a key off Steam and use it on mine.. either.

That's still really cool to hear though. :)

I've never tested it, but I'd be willing to bet it would work just fine.

As far as the sale goes, I think I might get Ancient Shadows, even though I bought into the beta.  Steam is dragging their feet on key activation again.   ::)

Arcen Games keys do work on both Steam and non-Steam equally well. Which can be rather unique on Steam yes?

Same here. I just bought it at full price the other day. I forgot about the steam sales, but then again, the more money Arcen gets, the better :P

Heh, I think there's very few of Arcens products I don't own doubles of at this point xD Probably not LotS as I was given that as a gift for making the tutorial vids...but otherwise I think I own all the other game in at least doubles >_>

AI War promoted by TB's Salebox
...as well as other games I guess but those aren't that important.

Yeah, seeing that made me smile.
I really hope that Arcen gets some great income from that.

Aren't that important? Eh, no.../me really wish there's more people who play Nexus so the Kickstarter for 2nd game would have been successful...

Anyway, I really hope that TB would do video on AI War already...would be fun watching him playing with other TGS members...(/me imagines TB and Criken playing AI War together)

Oh god. TB and Criken (& Genna or Criken's friends?) vs the AI. I can't figure out who would be more silly to watch.

As much as I'd love to see a series on AI War, a part of me tells me that unless the commentary is awesome, it will end up being boring as hell. It's one of the big things that tells me "Hey, never record this game. Not on your life."

Either awesome commentary or awesome editing, true. Its sorta like trying to video a paradox game in a way.
