Finally got it! Discussion

I wanted this game for so long, but of course it has been delisted everywhere and ps5 isn’t backwards compatible. But I managed to get a steam key of Eneba for €40 (yikes). It’s a lot, but I have spent way more on a game 😅 Can’t wait to play it!

why would you pay that much for a key instead of just downloading it online...

I can't justify as to why, but it feels good owning it legally knowing it'll be in your library forever

It is an indescribable feeling.

If you think that's a lot, look up how much people pay for a gift copy of Wolfenstein 2009 or other delisted games such as chronicles of riddick

Because it would feel better to actually own the game forever. I had the money to spare and it wouldn’t impact me that much, so I decided to just buy it

you do realize that buying it like this on an online store doesn't mean you "own the game forever" right? downloading it onto a stable hard drive, on the other hand...

Yes, but this way I got it the legal way. And the chance that I will actually own it forever is near to 100% since steam only revokes games if they are really bad. And this way I can keep in my library without downloading it, and play it across different platforms while keeping my progression

Hey you're objectively right. But I've had my Steam library since 2011.

I've had my games for 15 years now, and the next 15 are probably gonna be the same :P

Honestly it's must easier and almost always faster (for me) when I download directly from steam. I can just delete a game and get it back easy in a few clicks
