Amazon Purchase to Steam Activation
I just bought Civ 5(PC Download) off of Amazon for 29$.
Amazon.com: Sid Meier's Civilization V: Pc: Video Games
Steam is selling it for 50$
Took my Key Code Amazon provided and activated and downloading the game via Steam.
Has anybody tied this with other games?

Re: Amazon Purchase to Steam Activation
Yup.
All of these games can be activated on steam. Generally, if I see something on sale in a store for cheaper than on steam, I will check if it's on this list:

Re: Amazon Purchase to Steam Activation
That's not true. All of the games above can be activated on steam with CD Keys. Most of them do not require steam.
If a game you are looking at is in this list, it can be activated. A lot of them you can also just install from CD as well.
All retail Valve games and a number of third-party games can be registered to your Steam account. All of the following games can be registered through Steam:

What did I say was wrong? All Steamworks games require Steam so it doesn't matter where you buy them. Everything else is a crapshoot (well, except for Valve games). Your list above has those non-Steamworks titles that you can buy anywhere and still have them added to your Steam library via cd-key.

Re: Amazon Purchase to Steam Activation
The bold part is misleading. All the games listed in the list above are guaranteed to work, activated through steam and can function the same way regardless of whether you bought them on steam or retail.
It's not a "Crapshoot". Just look at the list, if your game is there, activate it on steam and use their servers.

Re: Amazon Purchase to Steam Activation
You, unfortunately, cannot use a Doom 3 or UT2k4 CD Key to register the game on Steam. Kinda sucks because I have the Doom 3 jewel case, but have no fucking clue where the discs are. Really would like to play it again, but I ain't payin $20 for the privilege.
I had no problem buying UT2k4 again because it's the best competitive multiplayer shooter ever made.
