The process involves checking how purchases affect access. Buying a physical disc from a local store doesn’t automatically require a repeat purchase on Steam for online play. Purchasing a pirated game typically means you’ll need to buy it through Steam again, as those copies are not officially licensed. Steam usually treats unauthorized copies the same way as other digital purchases—ensuring you pay for the content you own.
Check the disc packaging for instructions. If it mentions needing Steam for installation, purchase once. If not, you might need to buy it separately on Steam for multiplayer. Avoiding pirated copies ensures compatibility with Steam. Feel free to ask if anything is unclear.
If you purchase a game disc from a local store, it might still require a Steam code for online play. Modern PC games often include Steam credentials, while older titles may not. If you buy a pirated game, Steam won’t recognize it and won’t take any action. Currently, Steam can’t identify games that aren’t linked to your account or marked as non-Steam. I’d advise against piracy—just stay safe and consider using a VPN.
A nearby store offers GTA V at a discounted rate, promising to install it directly onto your hard drive without sending a CD. It’s unclear whether they’ll provide a cracked copy or not.

He doesn’t really rely on Steam for online play. Probably he’s trying to steal your files (unlikely), or he might hand you one (very likely). Ask him directly. If it happens in the store and it’s pirated, report it.
