| Heavenly_King said: If you buy a retail game that is not made by blizzard, it comes with an activation key which can be used in Steam. The key is registered to your account, and a digital copy of the game is available to you if you wish to download the game. BUT the retail copy can always be played on other PC, as long as the disk is inserted on the disk tray. That way, you dont require activation/nor internet connection to play the game. As long as the disk is legit you wont have any problem. In other words, what gets registered in your account with Steam is the activation key, and not the disk as in the case of the Xbox One. |
Nm, you are talking about buying a retail game and linking it to your steam account. I thought you were talking about purchasing a game off steam. Wasn't aware of the digital option through steam for retail games though. Good to know.
