Buying

Imagine if we had to buy the games again...

Dark times are coming....

You joke but pre-Steam that was how downloadable games were. There weren't many of them in the first place as it was such a new idea, but you were responsible for backing up your download after you downloaded it, the link only worked once.

Really?

I've never heard that, I thought in the pre-steam early days of digital downloads codes were used so that if your OS became messed up or you got a new computer you could download again if you had the code?

That's certainly been the case for all the non-steam games I've downloaded

The codes were generally good for one download only. After that, better have backups.

hmm, admittedly I've only bought a couple of games digitally that weren't steam but both of them were fine to download multiple times (I reinstall OS sometimes so I have tried)
