Any chance ya'll could give this to me off of Direct2Drive or some other site? - Martyr Shu - 07-05-2009
Before you shake your head and say "no", hear me out:
I purchased The Penumbra Collection yesterday and was really looking forward to finally playing it. However, my computer refuses to read it.
I tried it on my dad's computer and it does just find. My friend said it could be a faulty drive, which would suck. But I just tried it with a CD and it did fine.
Upon some farther investigation today, it turns out that I have a CD-only drive. So, I need to buy a DVD-drive as soon as I can. However, I do not know when this will be.
My question to you all is this: Could I somehow prove that I bought the game (maybe via webcam? I don't know.) then get the Collection for free off of Direct2Drive?
It's no big deal to play it on my dad's computer or wait until I can get a new drive. I'm just curious about if I can do this or not.
Thanks.

Get an account, download Steam, and look up Penumbra there.

Their collection doesn't include Requiem. And plus, I'd have to buy it a second time, which I want to avoid.

It includes Requiem as a part of the "Black Plague special edition" or whatever since it is an expansion to BP. Good luck finding a DVD drive if you can.

Thanks. I found one that's pretty cheap, actually.
Really looking forward to finally playing Penumbra after the amazing Overture demo.

New question: Can one copy of the Collection be installed on two different computers? If yes, then I'll just play it on my dad's til I can buy a DVD-drive.

Yup, no online activation I believe.

Got it installed on me dad's computer and am currently enjoying Overture. This will do until I can get a drive; or I'll just skip getting a drive at all.
Thanks for the help, chaps.
