Adding Disc copy to Steam

[Knownot]

Hi I want Steam to recognize I own FFXIV. I have added it as a non-steam game but this doesn't allow me to track how many hours I have played along with other stats. Is there a way to add FFXIV to steam so I can see these stats?

Buy it off steam. You can give the code it gives you to someone who doesnt mind not using Steam for FFXIV.

You'd have to buy it off Steam so it can use the integrated system. Most games that ya buy off Steam can't be hooked in (while some can). It's up to the publisher/up to how it's coded in.

I'd recommend not using steam for it, seeing as steam will recognize any patches past 2.2 as "Altered" or "Broken" game files and replace them with 2.2 patch files, causing you to have to repatch if steam ever checks it or you run a verify. (Very bad experiences for me, but if your computer is fast enough to run the update numerous times then go ahead)
