Valve cares because now they'll get a cut

You can buy the code at gamestop or if you don't care grey market 🐸

Steam does do 2 hour play time return window so that's something to consider.

But if you are buying it, buy else where.

We can all be using Amazon, Exxon, Verizon and then Pikachu face when all we get is monopolies...

A code for the game on Steam? They still get their cut

I’m no expert in the matter but from what I gather here Steam Keys and in other comments around the web, Valve allows free key “generation” for resale in other stores.
