That sort of shit irks me, but honestly I think I already got >my ten bucks worth even if I stopped playing right now. Agreed totally... I bought K0A -- Complete Pack'(all DLC) for $9.99 in a Steam sale last November. What a great 'steal'. Certainly for me as a Single-Play RPG enthusiast. Was lucky enough to pick up Dragon Age: Origins -Ultimate Edition for $7.49 in another Steam sale last June. Another terrific 'steal' . Both games run perfectly under Win7-64, SLI and G-Sync. Great Gameplay and Gorgeous Graphics Goodness...... John Lewis
