any way to get a steam key for cheap?

[粪甲虫]

does buying physical disc copy come with code that will work on steam? just trying to not pay 200$ for a steam key to Jericho

[Gelfan_Dothea]

What is the big deal with people wanting this game on steam so bad? The fact that people want it for free is retarded, but what's this $250 for a steam key nonsense? Hell, I'll sell you my steam key for $250 bucks.

Clive Barker's Jericho - how to get it on Steam for FREE
--------------------------------------------------------------
As indicated on the https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Clive_Barker%27s_Jericho - you need to click on the link steam://install/11460, in this way steam will start downloading a demo of this game with a size of 1 GB. Congratulations, you now have Clive Barker's Jericho Demo on Steam. Then you can go to the root folder of the game and delete everything in it. If you have a license disk (^_~), then install the game from it on your computer and then copy the entire contents of this folder (4 GB) into an empty folder with a Steam demo. The structure of folders and files of the demo and the full version is identical. So, after these manipulations you will have a full version of the game in steam. You can launch such a wonderful and at the same time disgusting Clive Barker's Jericho in Steam and play the full version as much as you want. The game runs through steam without any problems. Steam correctly calculates game statistics, the overlay works, you can take screenshots and save them in your profile. Unfortunately, when you uninstall this demo from Steam, the game also disappears from your library, but you can always reinstall. Also, your screenshots do not get into the Clive Barker's Jericho community, because in fact you have another game with the "Demo" word and there is no community in it.

i just did all that and when I launch the "demo" (has the full game's files and folders, 4 GB) from Steam, i keep getting an error about the game disc is not in the drive (the retail game is protected with SecuROM DRM)

i dont know enough about it but you could look into disabling securom maybe by deleting the files or whatever but look it up online or honestly just pirate the game

the securom protection is not a driver or program that we disable in Windows, it is embedded on/in the disc itself (DVD). If i put the disc in the drive, the game will load fine (either from Steam or from the local installation folder.

I am just saying that this method is not working 100%, because old, retail games have disc check DRM, you can not simply copy the whole game to Steam into the demo version, the DRM/disc check will follow too.

there are methods to remove the check there are files that can be deleted/disabled. people who crack games for pirated versions do that all the time just do some research

[Gelfan_Dothea]

You start downloading cracks and stuff from torrents and unknown sites you might as well kiss everything on your computer goodbye.

yeah, then what's the point of this guide/solution from 🔰ProtivulyaUA🔰 if the game has SecuROM DRM (not all disc release/version/region, but most of them has), if you need to crack the game after in order to have it and run it on Steam too?

You can simply buy the retail version (on amazon, the game costs 10-15$), install that and play it like any other normal PC games before (with the disc in the drive or crack it, that's up to the people) and yes, cracking a game from unknown sites = you get infected with a virus, goodbye your PC, that's another thing, like Gelfan_Dothea said.

[🔰ProtivulyaUA🔰]

I don't know what your problem is. i just replaced the "demo" files with the "full game" files and you can play and use the steam overlay. there is no game protection.

I did that too and yes, the retail version of Jericho is SecuROM protected and ask for the disc in the drive, if you don't believe me, check out pcgamingwiki's webpage, it will tell you what old PC game has what protection.

here is the link for you: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Clive_Barker%27s_Jericho

and here is the DRM (protection) info:

Source DRM Notes
Retail Disc check (requires the CD/DVD in the drive to play) SecuROM DRM
Some disc release is only required for installation,
not to play.

Amazon.co.uk Disc check (requires the CD/DVD in the drive to play)

It probably works for you because your version/region doesn't have DRM/Securom, but most versions of this game is SecuROM protected

I tested your method and i got the message upon launching the full game from Steam that there is no CD/DVD inserted in the drive, please insert the game drive, blah, blah.

[🔰ProtivulyaUA🔰]

well, it is obvious that my "licensed" version of Jericho does not have such protection))

probably, but your solution then doesn't work for everybody/100%, somebody else who see your guide may have a protected version of the game and he/she must have the disc in the drive in order to play it (not very useful if you want to load it from Steam/no interest.

If your guide is 100% working for everybody else, then it is ok to post it, but for this game, this is not the case (it is a 50/50 situation).

The person can simply install it and play it the normal way, no need to copy files and folders/no need of the demo).

[🔰ProtivulyaUA🔰]

yes, but I wrote a guide on how to have this game in STEAM, as if it were a demo version, but full game content. what prevents you from installing the game from your license disc immediately into an empty demo folder (from which you must first delete all demo files).

[Gelfan_Dothea]

Seriously, what is people's f--king obsession with having this game on steam? It's a great game, I'll grant you that, but why the hell does it have to be on Steam for?
