Where did you buy M&B: Warband?

So I saw this thread over in the ban/unban board, and it made me wonder where most people bought warband. Steam/Origin, retail, taleworlds.com, shady CD-Key store or another online shop?

Personally I would never buy from shady online shops. I mean, really, "they sent us scans of the cd-keys"? Sounds totally legit.... No, I would always buy it from Steam (or Origin I guess, if I used that), the producer/developers website (or whatever the official website is) or, last resort, buy it retail. I haven't tried them out really, but I guess I could by from a Direct to Drive site (like Good old Games), but that would be if they had a no DRM policy or a CD-Key wasn't needed. I'd be very sceptical against shady guys who just sells the cd-key, ESPECIALLY if it was only a scanned picture of one xD

Now that I think about it, doesn't these sites selling the same key to multiple people mean that the developers won't get payed? Who buy from them in the first place? Pirating would be exactly the same and you wouldn't have to bother with the CD-Key or any other form of annoying DRM.

Anyway, my question remains. Where did you guys buy warband from? I got mine from steam. Had the original M&B and when warband came out I bought it on Steam since I saw it there first.

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

Steam, but in reality Aldryk gifted it to me and so it was technically him getting it from Steam.

I agree with the general idea and execution of how Steam works, so I like to support it.

You might wanna mention that Best Buy is a retail store. :P Lots of people from different countries with different stores, ya know. I was googling it to see if it was an online shop I hadn't heard about xD

I also only buy games from Steam nowadays. Occasionally some other online store, but never again retail.

You just HAVE to make things difficult, now have you, Christo? Damn gingerkid! :P

Retail, I guess. If you paid someone over a counter you bought it retail I say.

Whatcha' say?

Gingerkid?  :shock:

And yeah, I have the retail box right here with me, so I guess I'll vote retail.
At first I was like : Oh god it's a Steam version, but now I don't regret it. =)

Amazon.
It was quite Random. Searched for the newest Demos in Steam and saw M&B: Warband there. I liked that game so I just went straight off to an I-net site and bought it.
I never regret it.

Was bugging Taleworlds for beta, then kept bugging the dev team more and got 2 originals for price of one 3€ each? just to get rid of me, My bro in Turkey got 1 and I got one in NL.
But Daegoth never thought that I'd find him in Germany, Gamescom VIP section and bug even more.
