Adding a DVD game to Steam.
Hello,
A few friends of mine have bought Call Of Duty World At War. I myself have bought this game on disc when it came out so I supposed that I could play with them. I do not have a disc-tray in my new pc so I can't install it that way. I've tried installing it via USB but then I need to insert disc to start the game up. I cannot add the game to my steam library using the code either. Any idea on how I can show I actually own the game?
Thanks in advance!

Buy it as the game can not be activated on Steam.

Don't like it? Complain to Activision as they don't allow the activation of retail copies of that game on Steam.

Oh wasn't aware that this is due to their policy. I'll go complain ;)

Valve/Steam is always willing to do that but the publisher/developer has to allow it in the first place.

Yeah I was thinking maybe it was because the game is too old or whatever

You can "download from disc" by putting the disc into the DVD drive and installing.

The answer hasn't changed in over four years. The game does not have a product key that can be activated on Steam.
Considering Activision pretty much left Steam and only release their games on their own platform now, don't expect that ever to change.
