    Thread to list GreenManGaming sales.

    Batman AC - $25
    Batman: Arkham City | Action | PC Games
    - I've been staring at this all morning and yesterday etc. Not sure to pull the trigger. I really don't want to install GFWL for example.

    Anyone here think Batman AC will drop in price eve more than $25 in the next few months?

    Unfortunately it's $49.99 there right now. Still tempting though for $24.99. Probably will be a sale again, maybe pass for now as I plan on playing Portal 2, Fear 3 and Shogun 2.

    I'm willing to buy it from the website, but can I activate it with Steam? I want to have in my steam games list instead of other websites.

    So far every game I bought from GMG could be activated on Steam.

    Check if the game is accepted for trade in. If not then 99% its redeemable on steam. Also they usually have a line that said this game use third party application for activation and launch - steam.

    Im not sure if Batman: Arkham City can be redeemed on Steam since its not Steamworks enabeled.
    Most likely you either get a key to use in GFWL or using that Capsule client.

    It is NOT redeemable in Steam and good luck getting it to work with GFWL client. You're probably stuck with the GMG client. But no big deal I guess, if you got a good deal.
