You only have to register your game on Steam. You can buy it elsewhere.

It doesn't matter whether you buy online or offline. You're still buying a Steam game.

registered in Steam

... so your point is...?

Am I confused? How is Skyrim a Steam exclusive game? I bought mine from another vendor, but I've played it via Steam's client, until recently.

Huh, I didn't know that. Welp, they got more money again.

OH, wait, i get it. you mean it can't run without the client , or if not registered with them? kk.

Yeah, you can buy it elsewhere :)

This. The game needs Steam installed to install and play legally on PC. I don't believe Valve actually gets a cut on the boxed copies, though, even if those copies require unactivated Steam keys packaged with them.

if you buy a physical copy, it doesn't actually contain the game, just an activation code. You activate it with steam and then it downloads. You aren't installing from the disk.

I just checked the size of the disk from my hard copy collection. It is 6.87 GB.
You mean that really isn't the full product and still requires the full download?

Well maybe it does, but after you activate it, you never need the disk again. My point is it doesn't matter where you buy it, you must activate it through steam and play it via steam.

Alright, thx. This stinks though. I figured I'd have the local copy, incase Steam ever closed shop, or I said adios. Well, atleast I have it to admire as art or something.

The disc copy does contain the game data, but it's missing updates and Steam won't let you play until they're also installed. The installation media is useless if Steam goes down. AFAIK, so are actual Steam backups.

I realise we're going off on a tangent here, but it's interesting to note that the lack of DRM on the DLC led to a bit of a bug with the LE disc. If you own the base game but not the expansions, then the disc's installer won't ask for the game key when you run it (because Steam tells it the game is already registered). You then end up with the DLC on your system (fully functional), but unregistered through Steam until you manually give the client the key.

So once in a blue moon you get people trying to re-install through the Steam client later down the track and wondering why the DLC doesn't get re-installed too. This naturally also led to a small handful of people failing to get SE.

thx, segues don't bother me; knowledge is good. Nice trivia ;)

@TheSolitaryOwl is there no way you could make this available on github instead of Gdrive. Seems a bit sketchy

I get an error when I try to run the save file through the toolkit: "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." The toolkit still says "decrypted" after this error message, but after completing the steps, the save file can't be loaded due to being version 0 when "the current version is 12." I'm not sure if the two errors are related but I have a feeling they might be, anyone know how to fix?
