You guys are silly, the only thing you get out of unlocking (a uplay game) with steam is steam tracking how long you played the game, other than that you can just make steam load the exe.

I did pay like $5 more the other day to get the steam version of Max Payne 3 but that has steam achievements and steam updates.


I have another question.  Where do I redeem these keys?  Do i have to  go to uplay.com?

But they give instructions to bypass it with VPN. I checked some reviews and they said it was pretty easy


I did it with Rage, kind of annoying and it makes you just load the exe in steam as if if weren't really a steam game (or at least it did for Rage)  still probably worth it if the next best price is like $10 - $15 higher

The game comes with an installer, then after you install it and open uplay (not sure if you have uplay installed, it's like steam but not as good) and enter the key right before you play the game the first time

ok yea uplay isn't great but you still will have to deal with it if you have the steam version
