WB Games gave me Steam keys free of charge for my retail copies of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City when those titles migrated from GFWL to Steam without asking for them. I was a retail customer without the ability to see into the future and because of that I basically get screwed over yet I didn't give 30% of my money to Steam unlike those who bought the game here.

so in this case giving out Steam keys for retail customers basically should be a part of official support. I don't see any complaints here about those problems so guess they were fixed somewhere along the line and the retail version was just forgotten when distributing those fixes the support for the game basically totally migrated to Steam, there are no retail fixes even though there are bugs still left in the game like the stuttering after loading a map, the music cutting off after reloading a save, the absence of music while playing skirmish maps etc. I have the same version of the game that is sold on Steam Here are some other reasons why I don't understand this: You are saying that in the digital era of game distribution I have to buy a game again just because I have a retail copy that got scratched even though there is a digital version available that is free of any manufacturing costs? That's pretty cool as I've just tried re-installing AoE 3, the DVD got scratched somehow and it doesn't install. If you have a key from a physical/retail version of the game, this is not redeemable on Steam. Enjoy all of the paid features including: 16 Civilizations from the Aztecs to the Swedes, all maps, Story Mode campaigns, 6 Historical battles, scenario editor, mods, profile icons, and ranked multiplayer.
