Hey guys, this is kind of a weird question but I'm just getting into PC Gaming, and I am going to buy a few multiplayer games like Doom and Battlefield 1 etc on a Disc (DvD ROM) for re-sale purposes, and I want to play with some of my buddies on Steam, except their copy is a downloaded one from Steam. So, can I play with them and will I still be able to have all of the features like Achievements and the like?
Thx guys
 
Buying the games on Disc aren't going to let you resell them, the physical copies have a one time use key that ties it permanently to a Steam or Origin account. Battlefield 1 doesn't even have a disc release in most markets, just a box that contains an Origin code for the game. If you want to resell your games these days, you have to play on console.
