You do need their Capsule to D/L the game

In related gaming news, Ci V is free to play through Sunday on Steam and the GotY sells for $12.49
-- Metro 2033 is $5 .. and Thief series is released on Steam (but not a sale)

It's a 2002-2003 game and is considered pretty good. It sells elsewhere still for $10

It's not bad for an old school HOMM style turn based strategy game. Worth the download if you don't already have it.

Yeah they are very proactive instead of reactive.After they exited the chipset business they quickly turned their focus on the emerging smartphone market.Though Tegra is still not a big money grabber for NV but its doing well.
