DRM and Keys

DRM

Note: If you use Windows 7 or higher, ignore this part.

Since Valve is planning to stop supporting the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems, I will make the DRM optional.

You will be able to launch the game without the Steam client, but, you will have the following restrictions:

  • Downloadable content (DLCs), the content from the DLCs will only be available if you launch the game through Steam.
  • Trading cards, you have to launch the game through Steam client to receive them, as usual, since they are a feature from Steam.
  • Achievements, also works only if you start the game through Steam client.
  • Updates, since the game is hosted on Steam server, without the client you will not be able to update the game anymore.


As you can see, there will be some restrictions if you run the game outside Steam, but, this is the only way to maintain the game available for you if you cannot use the client anymore.

Keys

Warning: No one is allowed to sell keys for the games created by SC Jogos, except Steam. Keys illegally sold on other markets can be revoked!

Remember that if you have got a key from a bundle you can only trade it and not resell it.

I am having a lot of problems with people selling keys for the SC Jogos games on other markets, which is not allowed. Because of that I will ask you guys to activate your keys until December 31, 2018.

I want to put an end on some shady business happening elsewhere and I will take stronger actions against it.

The games are cheap and you can also buy one of the bundles on Steam to get a better price. There is no need to buy keys on other places.


Current Bundles on Steam:


Note: Some of the Bundles may not be available for your region.
