You purchased a physical version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, but the Steam code was already used. You’re worried about spending money on a new copy. There might be alternatives you can try to enjoy the game without buying another one.

This begs the question of where you bought the game. Was it the game's official store? Open a support ticket with them. If it was from a grey marketplace, there's a chance that support fixes your problem but it's a lot more slim.

It usually takes around $1 to $2 on certain CD-keys platforms, which means you can likely get another copy.

Original item... purchased at a major retailer or found at a garage sale/Ebay-style? If it came sealed, you can visit the store (Steam support is slow) and ask for another copy or a refund. The purpose of sealing cases is to stop keycodes from being reused multiple times.

Purchased the game from a physical store—keeping the receipt is ideal—then you have options like contacting Steam support or returning it at the shop. If it’s second-hand, things get tricky unless the platform offers a refund. Still, another copy should be affordable: https://gg.deals/game/xcom-enemy-unknown...ial-stores. It’s currently at a historical low price.
