I managed to get in on this promotion too, and yes -- it's a fantastic title to give away for free!
In my case though, I already purchased Civ 5 via Steam, when they ran a sale on it shortly after the product launched. The good thing about this App Store version is it includes several of the expansion sets that Steam wanted to charge me $15 or more each to add on to my base game.
The odd thing, though? I'm told you can't play this App Store edition of Civ 5 multiplayer against others over the Internet -- only on a local LAN. The Steam version didn't have that limitation.

Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks!
I claimed my code, but am not at my Mac right now. Will that code remain "mine"? or will it fall back into the pool?
Awesome. I don't think anyone else where I am will be grabbing a code.In theory it should be yours only. The only area we've run into problems and will have to rethink how it works is if you are on a shared IP, it only gives away a certain number of unique codes (to prevent someone leeching them all). So, I'd redeem as quickly as you can to make sure. If you run into problems email support@macrumors.com
