Okay, so this is possibly a silly question, but if I have a game installed on my laptop that runs through Steam, will downloading it through Steam onto my desktop give me any problems?
Like, is it a case that the game will only run on 1 machine per license, or will I be able to play it on both machines?
Follow-up question: If I download a game through Steam, will I be able to play it on both computers? Ie. if I don't even have a disc copy, but just a digital one. I expect I'd need to download it onto both computers, but would that run into any problems?
I ask this for 2 reasons.
1. For some reason, the disc won't install the game I already own on my desktop. Not sure why - it says files are missing.
2. I want to get 2 other games (sequels to the 1 in question) and they're cheaper on Steam than in stores here.
Thanks in advance, gamers! (This is the only game I've ever played through Steam, so I'm a total Steam newb.)
