Steam Question

[Xinn]

If you buy a game on Steam does it allow you to download it for free. For Example if I reinstall Windows can I redownload the games on a freshly installed system, or even a different computer.

Also if you buy games from a store that are also available on steam, does this allow you to link the game to steam using the CD key.

Thanks.

You can download games from Steam as many times as you like on any number of machines as you like, as long as you've bought the game on your account. This doesn't include Bioshock, which has limited activations.

As for your second question, yes you can link a shop-bought Steam game to your Steam account with the key.

Great and great, thanks for the fast answers.
