What if I buy a Steam copy of COH vanilla when I already own all 3 COH game on retail

xboxer · 05-10-2012, 10:38 AM

I own all the COH games retail copy meaning the one with a box, a manual and DVDs in case anyone forgot that these still exists.

So the question is, if I buy just the vanilla COH for $1.99 on Steam, can I log into my existing Relic account and activate all 3 games on Steam?

Should or definitely will work? I really don't wish to waste $2 to find out it won't work.

If you purchase from steam they are already tied to your steam account, so you can just install and login with your old user/pass on the relic service. No worries. You'll have an extra set of keys then

I have retail vanilla and opposing force, and during the christmas sale I bought just valor on steam, and yes, I have all campaigns, so you can^^

Thanks. I think I will grab the cheap $2 vanilla COH then.

I don't know why. I'm more inclined to play it if it is on Steam. LOL.

but in valor, you have all multiplayer fractions, instead of vanilla

Its ok, I had retail gold edition, and bought company of heroes and tales of valor from steam, everything works fine if you login with your relic account, buying from steam only allows you to well download it and use it from steam.

I already have all the COH games on retail disc. I just want a digital copy on Steam so I can dump the box.

Are those games worth the money?

I'm thinking about purchasing the whole bundle, or should i just buy the first one?
I know it's just 2€ but i don't want to have another game on steam i never play

It is the biggest scoring RTS game according to a lot of reputable sources. It is one that EVERY PC gamer should own, in my opinion.

Yes, it's that good.

Tales of Valor is pretty meh, but the other two are awesome. Definitely worth it

Just bought a copy. Now I can throw that box and DVD away.
