Thank you for the links! I thought the Lego franchise games were only available on the Microsoft Store because they had the Microsoft logo on the covers.

In that way, I did not expect that such games would be available on Steam. It was a real surprise to me!

I just hope that Cheat Codes can also work in Windows games just as they did in PS3 games...

You are behind the time, Mystvan, at least for last 7-8 years. If game is not on Steam, it's most probably non-exist for the rest of the world. Only most stubborn old-school developers are _not_ on Steam - and some very big vain publishers (EA, Blizzard, and now Epic) purposely removed their games from there. Otherwise "PC Gaming"="Steam" and vice versa.

Yes, perhaps I am “outdated”. *cough* *cough*

The “problem” is that if something interests me that it is available on Steam, I rarely buy directly on Steam. I’d rather buy it on my old favorite sites such as Gamersgate and Gamesplanet.com. And they are merely stored in my Libraries of the respective Customer Accounts since I am kind of Collector.

That way, I am “outdated” on Steam, although I’ve enabled 2-Step Verification there... Curiously, I like to purchase games directly from Origin with the exception of Special Collections and Packs available only on Gamersgate and / or Gamesplanet.com.

Welcome to my world.

I don't restrict myself with any one site, so I buy where it's most profitable. And I recommend to you IsThereAnyDeal site. It will inform you about any game packs around. And if you filled your Steam wishlist, it will give you notification about this games discounts as well.

Thank you very much for the link. I did not know the site! Very good!

Yes, I was like that too, but I preferred to be more practical and limit myself to just a few great sites with no chance of going bankrupt such as Steam, Origin, GOG.com, Gamersgate and Gamesplanet.com.

I’ve already been refunded by Gamesplanet.com because of the defunct GameDownloads.com (subsidiary of the supposedly solid and reliable IDG). And fortunately I never bought any Indie games on the defunct Desura.com. *phew* *whew*

Yes, I will try to keep in mind what you wrote above. I will try to have a more open mind, broaden my horizons. However, I will still be cautious before venturing / buying games on promising sites that may disappear (Desura.com) at any time, suddenly...

Actually, I limit myself to Steam only. You can set your preference on Isthereanydeal for this too.

Oh, I have crapload of Desura games. And all of them are usually side-effect result of mixed Steam/Desura packs here and there. (And I fished out all my Steam keys from it anyway before crash. So nothing to sorry here.
