Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege CD Key
If I purchase Rainbow Six Siege from my friend as a disk will I be able to redeem it to my steam library?

If he has redeemd it already, then no. Is the game even redeemable on Steam at all? It's an Ubisoft game so I would expect it to be redeemed on Uplay. Same rule though: If it's redeemed already, then it's already redeemed.

It's not redeemed already it's brand new. So does that mean I wouldn't be able to redeem it to my steam library?

1. If he hasn't redeemed it (and you're really sure about it), then you can redeem it yourself.
2. It's an assumption based on previous facts that the DVD key (CDs almost don't exist anymore) can't be redeemed on Steam but on Uplay. To make sure, either ask in the game forum or look it up yourself.

Retail game most likely needs to be redeemed on uplay, not steam. Just try the code and see what happens.

Correction: Ubisofts Steam. It's as awful as Steam or as great as Steam. Still, it's basically Steam.

I don't know weather to buy it or not from him. If I can't redeem it to my steam library then I don't want it but I can't take the risk of it maybe being redeemable.

I think I'll just hold out and wait for the summer sale to buy it

You need to redeem it on UPlay. UPlay is Ubisofts version of Steam to put it simply.
Omni May 19, 2016 @ 8:54pm 
Is it basically steam just with different games and what ver?

You will still require UPlay, basically you'll require two seperate drms for one game.
