Game publisher Aspyr is ceasing sale of its 32-bit Mac game catalog on Tuesday, with Monday being the last day the company is offering the titles for purchase, citing Apple's shift of macOS to 64. In the Games menu there should be an option for Activate a product on Steam. Enter the code into there, and it should automagically add the game. As pointed out, I am not familiar with the MAS. If you have no CD key, then it appears you have bought the Mac-only 'Campaign Edition' version of Civ 5, which can not be linked to Steam. I upgraded to Catalina and could not play CIV 5. I saw on the ASPYR website that they upgraded CIV 5 to 64 bit on STEAM on November 14. I logged on to STEAM today 11/22 to try and play it but the game would not open.
In fact, I'd say that buying games on the Mac App Store is generally a bad idea precisely because you do not then have access to the Windows version, which you do get on Steam. Since some of the best mods for Civ 5 are Windows only, I tend to play Civ 5 on Windows using Boot Camp, But I play Europa Universalis using the Mac version. It states that there is a version mismatch between my Mac, and my friends windows. It is also putting my laptop through the works. Previously I would have the fan giving out a light whir when playing large/huge games in the late game.
Steam is a very popular gaming platform which gives you access to many different titles, both by well-known developers and by indy developers.
Valve Steam is not just a platform for purchasing games, but also a way to access custom user-created content for different purchased games through the Steam Workshop platform. It provides both free games and commercial titles.
Installing Steam for Windows is an easy task. If you have not already created a Steam account, then you can create one from within the interface. Once logged in to your account, you can quickly access purchased games, download them, install them and play them.
A great feature of Steam is its social networking aspect. Meeting friends in-game allows you to keep in touch while adding friends from the real world also allows you to game with friends while also keeping tabs on what games they're currently interested in.
Steam also provides other features that are useful for gamers such as the ability to update graphics drivers, manage gift cards and tweak settings. It has also been a platform where older games have been resurrected by the community and even convinced their developers to provide free updates for otherwise dead titles.
All in all, Steam is an excellent gaming platform which has really transformed the arena of gaming. We highly recommend it to anybody who lives online and offline gaming.
