Perhaps you can gift it to a second account, and then use this second account exclusively for Modern Warfare 3. See this answer for suggestions.Īs mentioned in the comments, it doesn't look like you can purchase a Steam copy and use on an account that already has the game registered. In order to get the game to run on your mac you may need to look into virtual machines, emulation etc. I found similar problems with Bioshock Infinite and Company of Heroes 2. Regardless, your problem with Modern Warfare 3 also applies to other games. Steam should specifically state the limitations of Steam Play. You can reasonably assume this information is specific to the Steam store because the same article also states: It is not clear here, but essentially this applies to games purchased directly via the Steam store. Whether you have purchased your Steam Play enabled game on a Mac or PC (both Windows and Linux), you will be able to play on the other platform free of charge. Steam Play allows you to purchase your games once and play anywhere. Specifically for Modern Warfare 3, Steam support have told you that you cannot download your PC retail copy to a Mac via Steam. I contacted Steam support and went through various steps to try to resolve the issue which ultimately ended with them telling me that the retail version of the game isn't compatible with Mac and when I pointed out that the Steam Store page of the game says it is compatible they told me that it's not the same as the Steam Store version of the game, which I found confusing. For example, Orange Box seems to work fine on multiple platforms when using the retail copy. Can you download a Mac version of a Steam game you purchased using a retail key?
