    Hi lads, initially i preordered BC2 on steam for the beta access.
    However early this week once i heard we could play the game online straight away before general release if purchased on EA store.

    This leaves me with potentially two copies of the game, ive sent a support ticket asking steam for a refund, not sure on their policy.
    But then one of the lads mentioned i could possibly gift it to someone , any ideas lads?

    NOTE: i have not downloaded it from steam yet in the hope this may assist a possible refund or gift.

    Any thoughts lads?

    Just to update this ,heres what steam had to say.

    Hello Damien, Thank you for contacting Steam Support. As with most software products, we will not offer refunds or exchanges for purchases made online as outlined in the software license - please review Section 4 of the Steam Subscriber Agreement for more information. Steam Subscriber Agreement http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=subscriber_agreement We will make an exception for pre-ordered games if the request is received prior to the release date.

    I then asked if i could gift it to someone and they replied with

    Hello Damien, Please purchase this game as a gift and send it to the email address of your choice. Once completed, we will assist you in refunding the original purchase as soon as the transaction has been settled. Please reply to this ticket when you have made the purchase.

    Kinda dont want to go down this road.

    Im wondering how can i retrieve the code for it to sell on to one of you lads?
    I assumed once the download was completed i got it,id just be warey if i downloaded it may interfere with whom ever i sold the key to.

    Every time I launch BC2, it gives me the chance to "deauthorize" it...

    Have you inputted the serial yet? I'm thinking... if you installed it (from somewhere else, physical media, maybe), and then inputted the serial?
