i bought boxset from best buy for the skyrim game and im asking for help in the forms and some ppl accused me off being a pirate.... how ? clearly you can see ive made purchases why would a pirate have a steam account and buy games???? its called a BOXSET you install the game from a disc ... they sell it at stores like walmart and gamestop how old are the ppl on these forums???? they said oh your profile dosnt have it so that means you stole it...............i thought ppl were smarter than this

Skyrim requires Steam. If you bought a legit copy, it'd come with a key code you'd need to put into Steam in order to install the game.

Well... Skyrim is a Steamworks game, so it requires Steam to play it. I wouldn't blame them and yes "pirates" have steam accounts, it's not that unusual.

So got a link to were you bought it?

Actually, it's not mutually exclusive. You can buy one game and pirate the other for whatever reason.

Just never mind them. It's not worth arguing with people who make conclusions just by looking at your profile, the games you own and the time you play, without even thinking that you may possibly have another account or play elsewhere (on other consoles or other gaming services).

Assuming your story is true, the boxset you bought is an illegal, cracked copy.

Yea your pretty suspicious
And if you bought a legit NEW box set of skyrim it would bring a steam key,if it didin't thats why they call you a pirate

Yeah, real internet pirates buy their games.
Unbelievable how you didn't know this. Pirates don't steal, they go Robin Hood

But Skyrim requires registry with Steam to be installed. Even a physical copy would be on your account. It has very little to do with us being judgemental, and you just not knowing how the game's installation works. And you bought it three years ago? A physical copy of a game in 2013, from 2011?

Man. Just stop. We know better. It is you that don't.

It's one of two things:

A-You were ripped off, as the game NEEDS to be activated with Steam. Odds are you purchased a cracked copy. You cannot install and play from the disc. You need to run it from Steam. No ends, ifs or buts.

B-You're full of it.

Maybe it's the console version and he's neglected to tell us.

Or maybe it's the console version and he doesn't know it and that's why it doesn't work on PC lol

Nah. He is looking up PC errors over on the Skyrim forum.

And he solved those errors and is playing the game.
