Steam ID's

[Human Torch]

my xbox gold subscription ran out awhile ago and instead of renewing I decided to get back into pc gaming. We have a thread for gamertags for xbox and ps3 but I didn't see one for steam. My id is the same as my gamertag. I just picked up Left4Dead, add me so we can kill some zombies.

Mmmm, Left 4 Dead. I was wrong about the staying power of this game. I still quite enjoy it.

Don't we have a CP Group on Steam?

Figured I would reserrect this old thread with some questions regarding Steam.

How does Steam work.

Example, if Steam is down, can you not play your game?
If your internet connection is down, can you not play your game.
Do you own a license key for the game, or do you own a license to play it via steam, example does Steam give you a CD code?

I only ask because in the past the prices between the brick mortar stores and steam were enough to get me to go wtih Brick and Mortar. But the game I want now is not sold at amazon, so I would have to drive to Best Buy or Futureshop and the price is 60% more there than on steam.

Thanks.

You can play the offline component of the game if your internet is down. If Steam is down, I don't believe you can access it from the Steam Menu (very rare), but I'm sure you could just find the .exe file on your computer and load it from there.

Steam gives you a CD key, it is tied to your game. I have never had to enter the CD key of a game I purchased to play it though; only when registering online. Also, steam keeps all of your games patched for you.

Steam is great, I'd much rather buy a game off of Steam, save money and just go digital.
