Heavensward Physical Copy & Steam

[worldofneil]

I originally purchased the physical edition, then bought it on Steam and gave the key to someone else so I could install and play via Steam.

Then your account isn't actually the Steam version (since you gave that code away) and you should therefore buy the non-Steam one.

It doesn't matter if you play through Steam or directly (they're both exactly the same installation on your hard disk), it only matters where you purchased the account you actually play with as that's whether it's marked as Steam or not.

If you log into the Mogstation, on the opening page of the service account if it shows you have a Steam Wallet option for payment it's a Steam account version. If it doesn't, it's not.
