While I do agree, I imagine it would in most cases be cheaper even to get the codes via a full collection purchased from a store, or even Steam. I would probably never recommend on actually installing via Steam for various reasons, but it is possible to get the codes and use the whatever other install-media you might have at hand.

With the new expansion, however, since it's not an add-on, you will need the new data as well.

But I digress.

I've not recently looked into how and what registration codes they actually offer now, and I would find it strange if they do not provide a method of using Crysta to pay for them...


Just a few thoughts~
