    Default Amazon digitial downloads: how?

    I have seen that Amazon specials have been advertised numerous times on MyGaming. If I remember correctly, these have included digital download specials. I tried to purchase the Civ V: Brave New World expansion today as it is on special for 50% off. It's definitely a Steam game. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to download it despite this as the download is only available to US customers.

    Have any of you used Amazon's digitial download specials? If so, how did you manage to do it?

    Here's the link to the special by the way:

    As far as I know you just have to change your address to a US address. There are sites that generate US addresses for you if you want one. Never tried it myself though and am not sure what their policy is for getting caught.

    Check this link

    Note: customers outside of USA will have to enter a US address in their Amazon account in order to buy it

    You're gonna have problems trying to buy off Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.

    The system is designed to pickup where you're purchasing from with your IP and take action accordingly.

    i have bought many specials from Amazon, and if it has Steam as the DRM then you have no problems. simply follow the advice from the awesome guys below.

    The Deal Breaker's Guide to Amazon Purchases

    you should also subscribe to their daily newsletter with specials on many platforms.

    now, a lot of guys will try to make you feel guilty about committing fraud, but i see it this way: i have a legitimate address in the US, that is mine and mine alone. i did not fake a Google or Microsoft address. i also pay real money for digital products, not pirating, torrenting or anything nefarious. in the end i get a game i want and the devs get their dosh. i sleep well at night
