ya, my current install is the product of torrent, i just figured getting it from POL via steam/d2d is safer (in the way of spyware/trojans etc) plus i might be able to use the reg. code i get from the download to give my alt char WoTG or the other expansions. but i wouldnt be surprised if they wouldnt allow that. and for only $15, its not all that unreasonable
As Krizz said, I know if you grab the Ultimate Collection from Steam you get a single key that unlocks all the applicable expansions, but that just means you'd have to pick a single account to apply them to. If you already have all the expansions registered on your main, then it should work just fine by using the key with your alt.
I'm gonna bug Sectumsepra about posting because I know he used Steam with XI so he might be able to give some insight. I think one thing he will likely tell you is that you cannot uninstall Steam itself without also uninstalling your install of XI, or at least that was the situation last I checked.
You're right, though, $15 is pretty reasonable if you're in need of any expansions.
