THESE ARE ALL STEAM GAMES WITH INDIVIDUAL STEAM KEYS FOR EACH SERIES. (You will get 5 Steam keys)



The nice thing about how this works through Amazon is that you can choose what Series you want to keep and activate it via Steam. If there's some that you already own on Steam(or Amazon) or you don't especially want a Series you can give the key code(s) to a friend. Once you enter it on Steam it is tied to your account though, so if you want to give it as a gift, just copy the key code from the screen and send it in an e-mail to whoever you want to gift it to. You don't have to rush to activate them, the keys are stored in you Account-->Games & Software Library and won't expire. You can choose to activate them on Steam right away or wait and do it later when you're ready to start playing the games.



Note: To download using Steam you have to first create a Steam account(which is free) and then install their Downloader. The games can also be downloaded through Amazon(using their downloader) and then activated on Steam. (Amazon downloads always take longer for me though) Once activated, Steam will automatically apply games patches/updates(when and if needed).
