Games that you owned before they were on Steam

10-01-2009, 08:29 AM

Ok so I have games like Rome: Total War, Medieval: Total war, Republic Commando, and tons of other games that are now on Steam. I bought these games before Steam had them, and I don't want to pay for them again to be able to play them on Steam. Is there any way to put a game on Steam that you did not buy from Steam, but is now being run by Steam???

This question is asked daily.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: Some rare cases allow you to, games like Prey and Unreal Tournament 3, but that's about it. There is a list somewhere, I suggest you google it, or wait for someone to post it... I am too lazy to do it on a daily basis.
