    I have my old cd and cd key but Steam won’t recognize it. I gave up trying to figure it out and just coughed up the $20.

      I think you might’ve been able to download the original

      gw.exe

      1. Run GwSetup.exe to install…
      2. At the log-in screen, click the “Create Account or Add Access Key” link.

      I might be wrong though.

        Yep, this, it’s the same client as the original but the update adds the reforged additions. I downloaded all of the files with the -image arg on my Windows rig and copied everything to my steam deck then added it as a non-steam game and the force proton compatibility option.

      Just log into the Anet Account associated with the game.

      Also, I still have my original games, in box.

        Lol yeah I still have old adventure games on floppy and CD from like 95. Obviously don’t have a floppy drive anymore nor an optical drive in over a decade.
