I just recently purchased some new computer hardware and was given an extra copy of CIV. If anyone is interested in buying it feel free to PM me. Or if someone is planning on buying it anytime soon and would be willing to help me out I would be willing to do some sort of trading on steam by gifting me something from steam and me sending the steam code for CIV.
You can NOT give away or sell that copy. It is LICENSED to the original customer and he cannot give it to anyone else.Originally Posted by derekh1029
Nonsense.
If the key hasn't been activated/registered through Steam, he can sell or give away as he pleases. Some graphics cards come bundled with a game key and you can do what you want with it if you already have the same game, or just don't want it, providing the key has not been used.
You are making an assumption that the 'copy' has been registered. I can certainly buy a copy of Civ 5 and give it to someone for Christmas....
However if the game has been registered, then, yeah... you can't technically sell it or even give it away.
If you read the last line which i bolded it seems the game is unregistered as he states "i will send you the steam code for civ" that generally is quite self explanitory i am just not too sure if the powers that be will take to kindly to the game being "Sold" here in the forums.
It's a trap!!
a pyramid scheme very nicely disguised in a forum thread....
Why do I hear Adimarl Ackbars voice?
You are right. I skipped the assumption it was already licensed by Steam.

"Take evasive action!!!"
I'll bet that unused game will be very useful for playing small map games 1:1 against another civilization. What a competitive and fulfilling game that would be!
