Final prices with fees
How much does Empire of the Ants for PC cost right now?
Empire of the Ants for PC starts at €4.36 (€4.56 with fees) at Difmark, 89% under the €39.99 (no fees) of the official store — but that is a shared account, not a key of your own. If you want a key tied to your own account, the cheapest is €10.44 (no fees) at GamesPlanet.
That €4.36 (€4.56 with fees) already includes the Gocdkeys coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.
With 36 offers across 16 stores there is enough competition for the price to move, so the gap between the cheapest and the rest is worth checking before you buy.

Which Empire of the Ants format should you buy?
With the shared account at Difmark you log into an account that already owns the game: it is the cheapest route, but it never becomes yours and the seller keeps the credentials. If they ever lose or change them, you lose access.
The key at GamesPlanet costs €6.08 (€5.88 with fees) more, but you redeem it on your own account and the game stays there for good. That is the difference between renting and buying.
The 12 Steam Gift offers are pricier than the key and leave more room for error, because they depend on the region and on Steam friendship.
Which Empire of the Ants editions are on sale?
Beyond the standard edition at €10.44 (no fees), there is the Deluxe at €15.99 (no fees) at Instant Gaming, €5.55 more. Check on the store what each one adds before paying the difference.
Can you activate Empire of the Ants in US?
33 of the 36 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.
Is Empire of the Ants worth it?
The press verdict is 73 out of 100 from 40 reviews, and 58% would recommend it.
Why is there such an expensive Empire of the Ants offer?
One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam gift that Kinguin has at €51.14 (€55.56 with fees) is more than 12 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €10.44 (no fees) at GamesPlanet.
So, which Empire of the Ants deal should you buy?
For most people the key at €10.44 (no fees) at GamesPlanet is the sensible buy: the game stays on your own account and it is only €6.08 (€5.88 with fees) more than the shared account.
