Cool, will put it on my wishlist

[TW]Taggart · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:23

just get forged alliance if your just interested in mp.. far more balanced game and you don't require the original to play it.

£5 for the gold edition (retail box), no doubt it will be £20 or something on Steam

gropingmantis · 27 Sep 2011 at 21:45

I just bought these from gamersgate for like £4.99 or something for both. I hope I can register my keys.

gronf · 27 Sep 2011 at 22:17

Ah, so I'll wait and see if retail can be activated and go that much cheaper route.

About time!

No source? The game's not been touched in ages, multiplayer is done through GPGnet, so I'd be suprised if this actually happened. Wouldn't complain, mind.

£9.99 each. Bargain

I'll get my coat

lol at priice when both can be had for a fiver

Gimpymoo · 29 Sep 2011 at 10:58

The price is a little steep considering anyone would be "re-buying" and not buying for the first time.

iviv · 29 Sep 2011 at 11:07

To be fair, that's pretty much the same price as all the other digital distribution systems.If it drops down to £5 then I'd probably grab it anyway, for the 'having it on steam' benefit. Still not sure how gpgnet will work with it though.

Evilsod · 29 Sep 2011 at 11:16

Next sale this is a definite purchase. Been waiting for this to be on steam for ages.

Inb4 Total Annihilation?

Michael Myers · 29 Sep 2011 at 11:20

its tempting to buy it just so i dont have spend an hour updating it after a reinstall.

~Divine~Wind~ · 2 Oct 2011 at 12:44

Just saw them on steam, tenner a piece is a bit extravagant I think.

Tried my retail key and its not having it

iviv · 2 Oct 2011 at 16:56

Just a heads up, FA on steam does not use GPGnet at all. Instead its now all done through the game. It is also running patch 1.6.6 which is apparently very similar, if not the same, to patch 3603 which only ever recieved a beta release and couldn't be used on GPGnet.

People who have the steam version can only play against the steam version. It also lacks the GPGvault, since this obviously required them to go through gpgnet.

That sounds a little ****?

No reason why it cannot run through GPGnet at all assuming GPGnet is still going.
