Buy Skyrim on steam and click install... that's it! You can do this with as many computers as you'd like (but obviously can only play from one at a time). Also, should your computer crash... you can simply download steam and login and your shit will be there waiting for you to reinstall!
PS: If you already have physical disks of games that are already on steam... you should be able to "redeem" the key onto steam and it will add the game to your library.
Since you can only play from one at a time, does that mean you need an active internet connection every time you play? That's not a problem, just curious.
Thanks again to everyone!
Once the game is installed you can set steam to offline mode. You will then no longer need to be logged in to play your games (but no online services obviously)
