Hazzastalavista Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi all, rather strange question for you all. This may sound dodgy, but I promise you it isn't. I haven't bought or played FM in a couple of years (lost job, so can't buy luxury goods). Itching to play FM, so wanna get it without the missus knowing (she'll kill me and I'm scared of that great housemonster that makes dracula seem like a pussycat). If I buy it, can I register the code on steam and download it at a later date? Situation is I live in Sweden but came to Cyprus to go to nieces wedding and to see parents. Bored in the evenings so wanna buy it and install on this crappy old laptop. Will I be able to install from steam when I go back to Sweden with no problems? My devious plan is to buy it, install it, register it on steam, discard the disc and case etc, then when I go back to Sweden, download it onto my desktop which isn't as crappy as this laptop. Thanks in advance!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 You dont need to get the disc- buy a digital download, and the game will be linked to your steam account with no other trace to it. It can be authenticated at any time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUBI Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Just buy a boxed copy cash and activate it in steam. The code is included in the box. Then you can play it wherever you are. But the better advise it to talk with your missus and how happy you would be when you could play the game instead of spending money to anything else...

Garethjohn79 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Put it another way tell your Wife that FM costs over a year or however much time you intend playing it per hour far less than going to the Pub to pass the time away. 10 pints = 1 FM. This may also work for legitimising SKY Sports & BT Sport subscriptions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hiding her Xmas present. Do you think I will regret getting her FM for the I pad she never uses that I borrow frequently? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cometdude Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Can't you trade in some games and get a retail copy that way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzastalavista Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Some of you are more devious than me Someone said to ditch the wife, she is like a boomerang. Tried that but it keeps flying back on her supercharged broomstick through the back window!!! Seriously though, bought it and installing it as we speak, so looking forward to playing it now. Thanks for all the hints and tips guys, its appreciated. Just need to go out to get myself some cloves of garlic and a cross to keep her away from me!!!

I genuinely think I would find it easier to quit smoking crack than to say with conviction that this is my final game of the evening. One more click....
