Bought through Steam, still no key. Is my game just activated once it is launched and than is the time when can I download it?

correct, Steam is activating the game by themself. As it will be automatically registered once you brougth it. So no key needed.

Quick question, just purchased on Steam last minute pre-order however it hasn't appeared on my Paradox account under games or my forum icons, should I just wait I guess?

Logout and back in. Try relinking your Steam account if that doesn't work

You're saying that if you bought the game via Steam, a key will not be needed?

i have tried everything possible on steam! where is the game?

 

[tiramisufan]

All the DLCs are already being showed on steam!
And everything is correct (colonel edition bought on 3rd party website)

Is the german version uncensored now? The German Steam site shows no hint of a censorship!

I suppose for me the choice is easy. Buy at Steam Germany and risk it being censored for 40€ or buy from a retailer (worked always well for about 15 games) and get it uncensored and for 25€.

I hope so!! Maybe it is classified as art? That means it is legal to show Hitler and such stuff because (I mean REEEAALLLYY) they cant put Hitler pics out of the game. That will ruin the Atmosphere!!! It is so stupid. I get WHY they do it but I wont go around shouting "HEIL HITLER" like a maniac just because I saw a picture of him.

P.S.: Seeing Nazis as mere black shilluetes (I dont know how its written in English ) is just stupid and will take the fun out of it. "Well just crushed another guy nothing speacial"
