How does this work with Steam? If I buy this boxed package thingy, once I get it can I just put some key into Steam and get the whole thing off there? I mean, will buying this here be essentially the same as buying it off Steam?edit: I can't seem to reply to my own post, so I'll update this one: Yes, you can just buy this and stick the key into Steam and use it as a normal "Steam-only" type game.

The point of the boxed copy is to save having to download the files from steam, other than that the online install of the boxed copy appears to be indentical to the Steam download version. I bought the boxed copy for my brother as he has a monthly bandwidth quota and a 4GB download would bite a chunk out of that. Myself I downloaded the whole thing from steam which took about 2 hours with a 6Mbit connection. We both play online on the same servers and both have to sign in to Steam to play online.

I could not get the Steam site to work, I cannot play my game. I am pissed.

The point of the boxed copy was to save $13, and it worked exactly as I'd hoped.

I'm honestly not sure as I've never purchased any of my game expansions for FFXI through Steam. However after some searching about I found this website which I believe answers your question: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2292-OAKZ-7524 Just a bit down the page it states: " Note: Retail CD-Keys for this game cannot be registered through Steam. If you wish to create a shortcut to this game under your Library, instructions can be found here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2219-YDJV-5557" So while it doesn't appear you can add it directly to your library, it seems there may be a way to link a shortcut for yourself in steam to reach the game. I hope that answers your question, and if not then at the very least you've got somewhere you can start to dig a little deeper! :) I wish you the best of luck.

It gives the option for both. So, yes you can download it through steam by redeeming the codes through steam.

It is a game download. You have to have download steam and then you can download the game but it works great.

This version of the game has a Simple physical manual（7 page), a page of TECH TREE AND SPECIFIC CHARTS. It has 15 DLC. It need a account of steam. The game program can download in steam, DVD disk can't need. These help to you? if not, Please ask me in simple English again, my English is poor.

Its a steam code. You purchase it here on amazon, go figure lol. But this game though lol. This game i dont recommend for the faint hearted.

It comes without the DLCs. The PC version comes with a CD and a code. The game is in the CD, but you'll have to look on the internet on how to install it with no need to download the game from Steam and save time, if your network is crappy. Once downloaded/installed, download the DLCs directly from steam, with the code.

I guess that depends on how you purchase it. I bought a boxed game. The key was inside the box... So obviously I had to wait. If you buy as a download, I would think key was available pretty much instantly, or at least at email speed. Me, I am old school. Games should come in a box with nice graphics, not in a "cloud" some where.

The PC download Skyrim I downloaded from Amazon gives you a code to type into Steam ( they give directions). After that it is a stand alone game. I have not had to buy anything else to play this game. But it is addictive. I hope this helps.

This item is not a steam download. You will get a link to install and you install it independently as a stand alone game. You will have to look for the right folder to play the expansions as they are included in the download but are independent from the main game!!

If you have a steam account, you should go to "Your Account" -&gt; "Your Games & Software Library", then just copy the product code, and paste it to activate the game on steam

I have no idea. I bought the physical copy and it is not linked to Steam, but another program called "Uplay". It wanted the key codes entered there. And in my review I mentioned that I only received one key code instead of two.

Unfortunately, it requires being activated by steam during installation. Once installed, you do not have to have internet access (though it is recommended, as then you'll get the updates), but it will not work or install without talking to steam first.

DO NOT buy any software from CLICKFORGAMESUkltd. Period. This was the Seller who started hack attempts on my STEAM account shortly after I activated the software. If you purchase this game, try to find out from the Seller if it is in the original manufacturer's packaging. When you receive this disk-based game for your PC, if it runs up a screen telling you it has to generate a STEAM account, immediately STOP the process, box it back up, and demand a REFUND from the Seller and / or Amazon (if the Seller won't honor the request). Let's believe there are still good copies of the original disks out there and you won't have to deal with a hacker scam.Bless,TJW DO NOT buy any software from CLICKFORGAMESUkltd. Period.

Ive purchased video games for people before through digital stores, but i've only done it through steam. I am 99% sure it works the same way on Amazon but i would double check with customer support first. Enjoy!
