CDKeys - Digital Deluxe Edition - £45.99

[Kakihara]

£15 cheaper than the STANDARD edition on Steam, absolutely crazy discount.

Only for Europe chads though. Thank me later.

If only Dragonball Sparking Zero was discounted as much! Game is expensive af everywhere!

I use CDkeys a lot but people should be aware that the discount comes at the cost of:
- forfeiting any possibility of refunding the game if things go bad after release.
- Your review won't be taken into account for the rating by steam

Steam review system is a joke and i am ok with not refunding. Things will be ok. If not, eventually they will.

This is the twelfth game I've bought from them and never had any issues.

The refund thing is the only downside. If the reviews for this game are legit then you won't be refunding it anyway.

I never knew about the steam review thing though, is this true? Why would they not take your review into account if it's a legit copy?

Next to a review you'll see a star. If you put your mouse cursor on it will tell you if the review is taken into account or not. They do that because they apparently can't distinguish between keys bought from a key seller and keys given for free by the publisher (therefore suspicious)

I guess that's fair. Too many corporate ass kissers out there.

I couldn't care less if my review contributed to the percentage anyway, as long as other people can still read it, that's all that matters.

Yep, waiting to see if Dragon Ball works on Steam Deck. Ultimate Edition on Steam via cdkeys is cheaper than standard edition on PS5.

I have no problems buying from official legit key sellers... but I don't buy from gray market sellers like CDKeys.

Nice one. Waiting on the Steam refund now. Slow today considering it should be an automatic one.

developers and publishers can flag your review, which gets it instantly and permanently removed from the reviews and it can only be viewed from your profile anyways. so i could really care less.

Where did you ear that nonsense?

If they could do that you'd have no bad reviews, at least not at the top (those with the highest likes).

ive heard it straight from steam support after experiencing it multiple times, after highly rated negative reviews of mine began dissapereing from games where the community manager is conan the librarian. after reporting this to steam, they informed me that several of my reviews had been flagged by either the developer or publisher, which automatically delists your review.

[Zebedee]

Fwiw, if your review breaches community guidelines/steam code of conduct then it can be made to disappear. The flagging is for moderation. Otherwise, and this is from indie developers who publish on Steam, the only other thing a dev or publisher can request is the off-topic period which doesn't count any review made towards the Steam rating, but obviously has to meet the requirements for it to be granted. (eg review bombing from China over non-game related issues.)

As said just above, it's a moderation thing. It goes through a steam moderator. They can't just flag a review because they don't like it.

steam support says they can, and id say that steam support knows a hell of a lot more than you do on the topic.
