bought RO2 retail before the RS merge. can't play.

so a guy on steam is complaining that he can't use his pre-RS retail disc now, because it says he needs to buy the game. are the early retail discs now worthless or is he just confused?

You can only play RO2/RS on steam, he should enter the key from the box on steam.

the thing is, this guy has never played it on steam. is that possible on RO2? I know I bought a retail RO-OST and never played on steam till RO2 came out.
heck that's an idea. i'll delete RO-OST and try installing from the disc without steam and see what happens.
thanks for the inspiration.

Shouldn't make any difference whether he had played it or not. A key is a key. What he will have is full access to RO2, plus the ability to play RS, but only with rifles. Or that is what he SHOULD have. If something else is going on, point him this way!
