[Crusher21]

If I purchase GTA V through amazon at the link below, will it be added to my steam account? And if not, how can I add it?

No - If you want it on Steam you ened to buy it through Steam. Else you will have to use the R*SC.

No, you cannot.

Is there any way to purchase it through steam using Amazon Gift Cards?

The retail version is only tied to the social club, where as the only way to get it on Steam is through Steam.

Steam don't accept gift cards from amazon.

Unless I am reading this incorrectly, it appears that you can buy it from amazon and it will give you a steam key.

No, you don't get a Steam -key.

"After you purchase it will prompt you to dl from amazon...dont. Copy your code from your "Your games and software" , open steam, go to library, click add a game, click activate a product on steam, paste code, and steam starts the dl. "
What if I just do this? Can anyone confirm if this will work?

It won't work, again - this key is only for Rockstar Games' Social Club.

If you want the game on Steam, buy it on Steam.
The link you provided is for games with Steam marked as DRM; on Amazon.

[Crusher21]

But the guy said he tried it and it work. Could you be mistaken?

GTAV on Amazon does not state Steam in the system requirements, so it is not a game that can be activated on Steam.

Rockstar uses it's own Social Club for games purchased through other retailers. As has been said, you can not activate that copy on Steam. You will have to download it from Amazon. The key is only valid through Rockstar's Social Club and will not work with Steam.

The post you linked to is for Deus Ex: Human Revolution[www.amazon.com]. That ones lists Steam in it's system requirements.

Steam account required for game activation and installation

At the bottom of the system requirements.
