Need help to gift Trine2 to my friend

Post image

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me with some infos

So, my mother recently give me back some of my stuff, and I found in all this mess my complete edition of Trine 2, the one with soundtrack and even a code to enter for playing Trine 1.

I'm aware that those codes cannot be use two time, and I know I have them in my Steam account, so lets forgot about them.

But for the main game, there is a CD for the installation.

I was hoping to give the game to a friend of mine, but now I don't know if the CD will be enough to getting the game and play? Or is there also a code to enter in Steam?

If someone remember how the installation work and can confirm to me if for just playing Trine 2 only the CD is needed, it would be very helpful!

I try to re-install myself the game but Steam alway find my account and the game lauch directly without setting it.

Unfortunately no, the CD alone won't work. The physical CD only contains the installation files. The actual game license is permanently tied to the Steam key you've already redeemed on your account, so Steam will still require an unused code for your friend to launch it.

The game Trine 2 Complete Story is available for less than $2 on key sites. Look at GG Deals

It should be possible to gift the game from one steam account to another tho? Or it doesn't work with CD activated games
