Register steam games.

Post by rexursus2 »

I would like to know how I register all of my steam games from Slitherine on Matrix games. I would like to download them seperatley from steam and play them that way.

That is not possible.

When you chose to buy on Steam, you chose to "rent" a title. Steam keeps the codes, you get the game cheaper. That is their deal. So you cannot get a Matrix/Slitherine version without buying it here...

Hence why the reverse is true and a better way to buy software, i.e., purchase from Matrix Games first and eventually if they do create a Steam version you will get a Steam version.

Totally untrue. You never buy a game. You buy a license to use the game. You don't own anything.

I always buy from Matrix. They make more money that way.

Thanks for putting me in my place. Simplified analogy simply doesn't work.
