Steam-ing pile

[Lazza]

Bought a bunch of new games to try. Tried installing Rage last night. turns out it's a Steam title. With DVD 2 in the drive I went out to walk the dog. I get home and DVD 3 and god only knows what else has been downloaded from Steam using 1/3rd of our monthly cap. It was still downloading (I don't know what) so I killed the installer.

So today I start installing another game, 1 DVD, what could possibly happen? And then...

that's a pain to fix. Gotta have your receipt and send photos and stuff to steam to prove you own the game, I had to do it once took about a week to sort it out.

ROFL. Eastern Europe. Where are you getting your DVD's from?

Did you get it from Mighty Ape?

I bought Dead Island off them about.. 2 months back? Same problem, Didn't take as long as a week, I'll edit this post once I find out what you need to do, if you do it all in the first email, I'm sure it will be sorted out by monday / tuesday

Edit:

So I initally sent pictures of the CD Key itself, and they sent back this reply
