re download game from steam

[atila9000]

hi, i would like to buy the game from steam, but the problem is that its too expensive for me. so, i decided with a friend to divide the money to buy the game from one steam account. basically, i would download the game from steam to my pc, and his friend to his pc, both using the same account. is that possible? can we also play together online? and how do i buy a game from steam?

1. it probably will be possible, unless r2 has some always online thing they havent mentioned yet. one of you will have to play in offline mode
2. you wont be able to play with each other online
3. its only 60 bucks and you have till the end of the year to make it. go sell plasma a couple of times and get your own copy.

Thats not really possible, the game will be tied to THE account you bought it on, when ever your friend logs on to play it, you cant and vise versa ... so playing online together is far as i know impossible.

Nothing stops you from buying the game between the both of you, and play it on the same computer, but you can't play together. You would need 2 Steam accounts and 2 copies of the game.

If you are willing to pay 60 bucks, my sugestion is to wait a few months until the game is on sale (steam will probably make a 30-50% sale within the first year) and buy it then.


I'm sure you will find other ways to keep yourself entertained in the meantime.

You can buy the game on 1 account and have 2 of you play it, though you can only play it at different times, you 2 can't play it at the same time then... In order for you both to play it together and at the same time (if you want to play alone) you'll need to have the game seperate for yourself..

You can play on two different computers with the same steam account, but not at the same time, unless one of you is in offline mode, but I don't think you can play online then.

"Unless one of you is in offlline mode"

Wait what? Is that really possible?

[boxleitnerb]

I don't know if it's legal in your country, but I've been buying my games from key shops. I don't see why the average consumer shouldn't benefit from globalization, too. I never pay more than 35 Euros for my games when on Steam or in retail they would cost 50-60 Euros.

[Keesdechinees]

I don't think so, cause you always will need to connect.

Wait a few months after release and the price will decrease about 1/3 of its initial value so it falls around 30 bucks.

Show patience and a golden edition comprising RTW2 and all its DLC released so far will be released in 2/3 years for the initial price of RTW2 alone at release.

great advise. I bought m2tw from steam for less than 10 bucks and ntw for 10, all with all dlc and packs

also you can play with steam in offline mode, I still would buy one copy each.

Me and my brother do it all the time, we figure we live in the same house, we don't buy 2 copies of the same book or movie, why two copies of the same game. We share a steam account, on of us plays online, the other offline. Since he doesn't play multiplayer, there's no problem. If you want to play online, it's a different story.

i dont have steam yet, but can you disconnect from internet for a while and then play the game through the main launcher?
its expensive for me, at least, because 1 ps3 game is more or less $480 ( argentinian money), that for my country is really expensive. 1 dollar = 8 pesos. when i go to the supermarket once per month, i usually pay all my food, etc $300-$400.

Don't you mean that one ps3 game is 480 pesos? not 480 dollars.

[atila9000]

yep, pesos

[Post Hoc]

A ps3 game in Argentina is almost $100 USD?

[atila9000]

noooo, its like 3400-4000. thats REALLY EXPENSIVE. i bought it in the US at 250 U$D

and what game would this be? I've never seen a 250 USD game before. Also, I believe account sharing is against Steam terms of service...

[karamazovmm]

I never knew that argentina still existed, interesting. How is that old mad cow doing? Greeting from a decent country called brazil

Aside that, you can play offline as we all said and as some us said, wait for the promotions to happen, TW games get dirt cheap.

well, our lovely president was insulted when she visited a neighbourhood due to the floods you might have probably seen on tv, which died aprox 50 ppl, i was so happy seeing her that she couldnt talk to the people because she would lose in the discussion.
king_porus, you misunderstood me, the ps3 was US$250, a game in argentina is $460 + or -, a ps3 is also 3400-4000
