    So basicly i can convert it, activate key on steam, and then i will still be able to play/update via uber launcher, play entirely offline etc with no restrictions compared to what i have now, with also the ability to download it through steam?

    If so, great and i will convert.
    If not, i will not convert for now at least...

    Yes. Once you've linked your steam account then you can use either one.

    I've activated my Steam key, and it said that my accounts were linked, but the launcher now prompts me with this:

    "Your account is not authorized to play PA. Please enter your access code."

    I switched my key to steam and downloaded it and when i hit play the game wont open. :cry: I am using a Mac which i know shouldn't be making it not open but may have to do with what I did wrong. Its probably user error. Any help will be useful; I'm dying to try out this game.

    Once you've done this conversion, you won't be able to play through the launcher until you've linked a Steam account which owns the game to your Uber account.

    You need to redeem the Steam key in the Steam client. Then you can download and play through Steam which will cause the accounts to link up, or you can link them up manually here: https://uberent.com/user/linksteam (do this AFTER you redeem the Steam key in the Steam client)


    The trick is that once you convert to Steam, the authorization to play no longer lives on your Uber account, it lives on your Steam account. But once those accounts are linked we can treat them as one ans you can play through Steam or the launcher.
