Questions about Retail DVD vs Steam DL (CD Keys, Updates, DLC, Expansions, etc.)

Hello,

I just purchased Endless Legend Classic Edition (Retail Box/DVD) via Amazon. (Haven't received it yet - it's going to take about 4-5 weeks to arrive). smiley: frown

My questions:

1- Are the DLCs and Expansions only available via Steam? And if so, how do I go about buying/using them if I only have the Retail DVD?

2- I see that Steam has a "Retail / Digital CD Keys" list for supported games, but Endless Legend is not on it... Basically, I'm really worried that I might be SoL (in regards to the DLCs and Expansions) and would have to purchase the game again via Steam in order to buy/use the extra content?

3- How do I get the Updates? Are they automatically patched when you install the game?

TIA!
Ney

1. For EL, yes, as far as I know (as opposed to ES, where Disharmony is also available at retail - I bought them separately)

2. The CD-key inside the DVD case delivered by Amazon should work with Steam just fine. Mine did ^^

3. Yes, once you register your CD-key with Steam, you'll get the chance to download the latest version of the game. Steam will also patch the game automatically for you.



Cheers !

Thank you very much! I'm so relieved to hear that the CD Key will work on Steam! That makes my other questions/concerns moot, thank goodness. Heh. :P



I wonder why Endless Legends is not on their list? I had a real "oh crap" moment when I didn't see it there...



Anyway, seems like I'll be good to go! Again, thank you! Much appreciated. :)

Please do come back if it worked for you (as it did for me), so that others may also get a second confirmation ^^
