So i borrowed the orange box CDs from one of my friends , i put the cds in my computer and i installed steam and created a account. But....BUT steam asks for a serial key... and i called my friend and he said there IS no serial key... Can someone help me with this? Is it cause Valve has stuff preventing this ?

Thanks for the help

steam doesn't work like this. You can't just borrow the cd. The games are tied to a steam account. There is a serial key that was included but its already tied to the owners account and you can't use it. Buy your own copy if you want to play. And if you jsut want to try they have several free trial weekends a year.

Buy your own copy! And I'm telling you this not because I care THAT much about Valve getting their money, but I'm telling you this so you can enjoy the goodness that is The Orange Box! In a sense, I'm telling you this because I care about YOU!

Wooh, is it getting hot in here? Oh my~!
