What does "Steam Store and Retail Key" on the store page mean?

[Cornflake]

the steam store key is the retail key i assume

[StealthMomo]

It seems that most people who bought the game just clicked on the button without reading the description.

[Jeffer'son Airship]

It just means steam is using the same key database for the game bought directly from it and other storefronts that give steam keys

I'd like to know before I buy

Generally this means that you're getting both a Steam Store Key and a Retail Key - if for any reason you'd rather not have the game on Steam, you have a valid key for use in a non-Steam version of the game.

And now what? Are you complaining that you didn't researched enough before?

[head hawk]

why does it say you also get retail key when you did not get it that i dont understand

[Ibram Gaunt]

Geez...
The Steam key IS also a Retail key, you do not get another Key. You can see your Key in the Properties tab of your game in your Library...

Well, thats bad luck i guess. Most Games have a Product Key Tab. But nethertheless you do not get another Key with your Steam Purchase.
