Steam question...

Tomorrow, I might take my computer to format and install Windows 7(finally!)

so my brother bought Call of Duty: Black ops on Steam.

If I formatted the computer, will I have to buy another CD? or just re-install it?

I think I lost the code... I think...

I think Steam games are tied to the account so you won't have to buy it again. You'll have to re-download and install it again.

Just note with some games, save points and such are tied to the computer as well. So you might've lost some progress in some games.

If that's it, then it's easy. Thanks.

Yes, I know that. I'll backup Portal saves. 8D
