| | | Wanted this to be on sale in the Steam Winter Sale, where I got Elden Ring--but it wasn't! Was the last Souls game I didn't have and got so annoyed I'd have to wait longer to fill in that last gap--just in having, not playing, since I sorta plan to play this one last and who knows how long that'll take to get to!--that I guess I googled something or other and found through gg.deals (Steam forum goers more frequently mention isthereanydeal.com as being a site listing only legit sellers) gamebillet.com, a UK seller of Steam keys, seemingly actually legit distributed by publishers.
Well, so gamebillet.com listed SotFS (Steam key) for 50% off, which is how much it would go on sale typically in a Steam sale according to sale histories--didn't go on sale for years, but then two or three in last year-ish--and said the key would uh I forget how they put it but something about work with US region Steam, so I paid 'em w/ PayPal, waited a few minutes, punched the code they gave into Steam, and voila: "Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin Asia."
Asia. Hm. Well, it installs and runs as SotFS, in English, US EULA or whatever at the start, so, hey. 'p'
I guess the main drawback with getting a key from even a "legit" seller like this, aside from little quibbles like region name, is that gamebillet for instance warns you that the deal is non-refundable the instant you reveal the Steam code to yourself; and Steam doesn't offer refunds on codes bought from outside Steam itself ( https://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds/: "Valve cannot provide refunds for purchases made outside of Steam (for example, CD keys or Steam wallet cards purchased from third parties)"). |
