I can't seem to find out if it activates on Steam though?

DRM says Uplay and no mention of Steam.

Prob's just uses Uplay.

If a game activates on Steam, does that mean you'll have a cloud back-up of the install files?

Don't think it is steam activated judging by the DRM description at the bottom. Only refers to UPlay.

If you mean, can you uninstall and reinstall then yes. It will remain in you game list even if not installed.

Pretty sure it's just UPLAY - but the steam version requires Uplay as well.

That's damn good.

How many, roughly, of the top games allow this? 50%?

Last game I bought on Steam was HL2 when it first came out!

 

[pastymuncher]

Picked that up, seems like lots of people highly rate it.

Cheers.

I hate uplay. Is Far Cry 3 worth it?

 

[Ceryndrion]

I find the steam version requiring uplay to be completely silly.. I activated it on steam, downloaded, installed it.. clicked 'play', and immediately get uplay firing up to 'activate' it also.. talk about redundancy.

Big definite, love the game. Been thinking about playing it through again.

Rising Storm on GamersGate - £3.75 http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-RSTORM/rising-storm activates on STEAM and you also get Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad - GOTY! which i didn't even realize.

cant have been on long its showing £14.99 now.

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Gamersgate deals are normally pulled very quick as sson as they see an increase in traffic from what I've seen lol

 

[varkanoid]

shame I would have bought that, cheapest I can find is £5 dvd on amazon or £8.99 for key on various sites.

Yes! Its a fantastic game and the co-op is great too. I hate Uplay so i totally get where you are coming from, although in the past month or so, the update speeds have increased and that was my main gripe with it.

 

[Mr Badger]

Does anyone know where I can get the cheapest tomb raider key?

It's currently £7.49 here: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/games/action/tomb-raider/

Use code GMG25-0YUM5-VKMVU for 25% off should take it down to £5.62

I meant what percentage of non - Steam games can be linked to Steam. Make sense?

If you add a non-steam game to steam it just creates a shortcut in your library, it doesn't add it to your account in any other way. But you can make as many game shortcuts in your library as you want.
