^^The game downloaded will be ready to run or an installation has to be done before you can play the game.

Last question IMO...haha. Thanks for the clarifications.

^^ It will get downloaded and just work. No installation will be required.

As for DRM , yes it has DRM. IIRC valve has stated it has the master key for the DRM, and in case Valve goes out, they'll release you the games.

That's perfect

And do I get the keys for the game so that I can play the game procured from other media/sources.

Sounds reasonable then ?

If you mean to use Steam purchased games outside Steam, then no you cannot, mostly. In case you want to add a retail purchased games to be authenticated by Steam, then it's up to the developer of the software really.

^^:frownface:

Anyway, I will see the optimal way then.

You don't get any serial key with Steam games.

[JojoTheDragon]

You do get sl. keys if you buy any retail version of any steam game. Like mafia 2, you need to activate the game via sl key in steam and then only the installation proceeds.

i don't get what you are trying to say. what i said is right afaik

[Liverpool_fan]

What Jojo said is correct for the games in the list.
The opposite is not true however. If you buy a game via Steam, you don't get a retail copy or any CD-key, you only get the game authorized to your account.

One thing, can I add someone as a friend who has no games in his account (except those HL2 freebie games)???

i don't get what you are trying to say. what i said is right afaik

My point is that you can buy CoD4 both retail and on Steam. Registering CoD4 retail on steam will not work.

Only the retail games in my list can be registered with Steam.

Already got this, though not from Steam.

I think you should be able to register Metro 2033 with your Steam account using the key if you want to.

certain games in steam have cd keys like when I purchased dirt2 in steam it came with a cd key which had to be entered in the 'games for windows live' screen in the game... though it's tied to my steam account

Steam Christmas sale starts.

I suggest getting the Valve Complete Pack for $25. It has everything.

Edit: They made it $50 now.

[Liverpool_fan]

This is a crazy offer...And if I purchase it I'll most probably get extra copies HL2, HL2E1, HL2E2, HL2:DM, HL2:LC, Portal, TF2, and DoD:S probably to give away :|
I actually need only HL2:Antology@7.5, but this offer is too tempting :/

[ico]

^^ No, you'll only get extra copies for HL2 and HL2:EP1.

Read the link before you make any decision.

and a big edit....Valve Complete Pack is $50 now. May be they made a mistake. [Discussion: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1665737 ]

[Liverpool_fan]

awww I missed it then :/

Whoever got *that* deal had a steal :/

Still $50 is a great deal if you don't any Valve game. Not for me though.

Anyway I got Half Life Anthology @ $7.5
