I have to play on GOG. There is a sidequest that will explain why.

Very funny. Originally posted by cassiels :. Per page: 15 30 I personally do not like to purchase games digitally. There's just something magical about going to the store, picking up a boxed game, staring at the amazing box art, bringing the game home and putting the disc in the drive. That being said, I know that several game distribution companies are leaning more toward digital distribution, with[Steam holding a large chunk of that market.

Is it possible to buy a retail boxed copy of a game, but still get the benefits of Steam automatic updates, install on multiple computers, etc. It depends on what game it is. Obviously Valve's own games are possible to register on Steam. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 also comes to mind since that one has to be played via Steam. Steam allows you to associate the keys of certain games with the program which will allow you to enjoy all the benefits you mentioned.

Unfortunately, not every game that is offered both on retail shelves and through Steam allows you to do this. Here is a current complete list of every game that you can link to your Steam account if you bought a retail version. In short, Yes. However, not all games are supported. In fact, there are some games that are available on both services, but only Steam allows you to activate them even though they were purchased elsewhere. Test out the import and let us know if it works!
