There are no CDkeys anymore.
You are authorized as the previous poster mentioned, a user name and password. That username is connected to a steam-ID #, which can be retreived if lost by the email you had used to register it. My personal opinion about steam is that it is one of the best things to have ever come to the gaming industry. Best patching system ever.

Can someone link to one of those back up how-to's?
I love Steam. I really don't understand the hate over it. It is indeed the best patching system ever. But I am afraid of having to reinstall if I have to re-format for some reason.

The only people who worry about downloading again is those on 56k, otherwise it wont take more then 1 night to get it all.
To backup your steam games, account, etc... http://www.steampowered.com/forums/s...hreadid=151953

Rumor has it that it will be sold sepretly in the future, as in not any time soon. (They gotta make money off the HL2 orders first.) Quote:
It is released (unlocked) on Nov 16th 12AM PST (GMT-0900), adjust the time according to yours.

Figured this is worthy of a new post:
Built in Backup Utility for Steam. Open any Explorer, or Internet browser and type the following: steam://backup/ It then lauches it and does the rest for you.
