Do Not Buy this Game from STEAM!
Steam is fully aware that the digital download uses the same key!
And they do not have any plans in the future to correct this!
If you want to get this game be sure you either buy the PC DVD version or get it from Ubisoft.com.
Here is the response I got from their technical support department:

Re: Do Not Buy this Game from STEAM!
"Currently no fix for the issue" doesn't mean they don't plan on fixing it at all...
But it would seem buying it on Steam right now would be a bad idea.|TG|Clodhopper - Intelligence is the key, but I'm locked out!

I am sending their response to me to the Better Business Bureau. They have not delivered the goods that they promised, ie multiplayer action, and therefore are in breach of the purchase agreement.

Re: Do Not Buy this Game from STEAM!
I'm amazed this happened in the first place, but that it continues to be a problem is astonishing. Thanks for warning us away from Steam - that's where I would have most likely purchased it. Although after this and the COD4 patching issues I may stick to DVDs.

Re: Do Not Buy this Game from STEAM!
Notice they put in there that it si a "one time gesture of customer support"..
The only reason they gave me back my money was because I sent them like 75 email a day since sunday telling them I was forwarding it on to Ubisoft as well to let them know they are getting ripped off by Steam..!
