Is there a way to activate old retail copys of games now avaiable on Steam?

Hello!

I've retail copys of games, that are now avaiable on Steam, but the retail copys have no key on them, that could be activated on Steam right away.

My question is: Is there a way, to get steam keys assigned to those games now, and if yes, how should I ask it from, the company that released the game, or Steam?

The games are: Syberia 1 and 2, Max Payne 2, Guild 2, and maybe some more that I can't recall now.

Thanks for your help!

Sadly it doesn't work that way. You can install them and then put them into steam as non-steam games, but it won't be tied to your account.

Contact devs! They could provide you a steam key.

Yah, some devs and softwarehouses can provide you a free steam key if you have a previous version, but it's a rare option.

Most SH wants to see your money again. :(
