Exactly. Who cares if it's on steam if you have to have uplay installed and open anyway

And login everytime you want to play, because they're to incomplete to save a login.

It's for security! If someone who isn't you is able to sit down at your computer, bypass your OS login, and launch the game without us asking for your game account password, they'll be able to do unspeakable damage to your game's save file! They might even finish the game for you!

Valve cares because now they'll get a cut

You can buy the code at gamestop or if you don't care grey market 🐸

Steam does do 2 hour play time return window so that's something to consider.

But if you are buying it, buy else where.

We can all be using Amazon, Exxon, Verizon and then Pikachu face when all we get is monopolies...

A code for the game on Steam? They still get their cut

I’m no expert in the matter but from what I gather here Steam Keys and in other comments around the web, Valve allows free key “generation” for resale in other stores.

Convenience for Steam Deck and Linux players
