    I have credit on my Amazon account to buy the gold edition, so I'm gonna have to get the discs. I'd rather go Steam, and just download it, but I guess that's not an option. So, my question is: Is there a way to buy the retail discs from Amazon with the code inside, and download/install it using Steam? I don't have a disc drive for my PC, otherwise I would just use the discs themselves.

    Good question.  I picked up my copy through Steam so I can't really answer it.

    The game is 100% steam, just put the CD Key into steam and it will work.

    You can check game boxes for a Steamworks logo.  Any PC games with that on you can just type the code into Steam and it'll be as if you bought the game through Steam.  Unlimited downloads, automatic updates everything

    Yup! These two above me are correct.  I can verify that I have done this with a key before.

    The exact way I had to do it, because I broke my disk drive. =(

    Thanks everyone for the answers. At least if it somehow doesn't work out, it was pretty much free :D
