As many times as you want. Enjoy having multiple copies of the same game on your computer.


Nope you have it for as long as the sells is still in business. Usually if someone is going to go under another company will buy them out, that's how I ended up with a Gamergate account.

With accounts like this your games are always with you (not the saved game) so you can download them anywhere.

question:

I dont really ever buy pc games. only bought infinite off of steam.

how does it work if I want to play this game on another PC, or is there any downside to purchasing from gamefly as opposed to waiting for a steam sale

Can i save it to a gamefly account and be able to download it/play on diff. pc's ?


I'm pretty sure you can set Steam up to manage any game you own, even if you don't get it off of Steam.

ok great.

so if I buy it right now on my laptop, I can just log onto my gamefly account on my brother's gaming pc and download it onto that and play it?

As long as you aren't logged onto gamefly PC on both computers, it should be fine.

as sbr2 said you can't be logged into the same account on two computers at the same time.

understood

if that happens they will freeze my account of something ?

and Im assuming all these websites work the same way pretty much with pc game downloads ? is steam any better or worse than others ?

I would've waited for a steam sale just because that's the only thing I've used before, but $3.99 for Bioshock 1+2 was too good to pass up

Steam is the better platform and more games than not active on steam, but watch other sites for better sales.

Most of the time if two people try to log in at the same time one will get kicked or denied, but if you get caught account sharing you could lose your account and everything with it.
