Unlocking on steam

Videotape · 05-16-2011, 09:10 PM

I bought this game before it was available on steam and was wondering if there was anyway i could download it on steam without re-purchasing.

Hmm... do you know of any other games that have done this?

Steam gave me keys that I've been able to provide to people who have already bought the game, but their keys are totally separate from the ones I was generating on my own website.

All the documentation that I've seen talks about Steam generating keys for your game, not about them accepting existing keys from some other key system.

So, I don't think it would be possible, unfortunately.

Instead, please just drop me an email at the address linked above, and I'll get you set up.

Was wondering the exact opposite as I'm intrigued by Linux support :P

My netbook runs linux and I'm looking for some games on it but would also like to play this on my main gaming pc or on my parents pc when I go visit them and get bored.

Steam will sort out windows but how can I play on Linux if I purchase from Steam?

Would I be best to buy directly from the website and email for a Steam key?

Actually, best to do it the other way. Buy on Steam and then email me.

I have a limited number of Steam keys, but there's no limit to how many keys I can generate for access to my own website. Well, at least I don't have to bug someone else for more keys!

I wish I could have just included the source bundle with everyone's Steam download, but there was no straight-forward way to do that.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I would appreciate seeing You providing the Steam keys for the people, who have already bought the game... Humble Indie Bundles 'replenish' keys all the time and it doesn't seem to be that much of a problem...

Please, look into this, everyone would LOVE to add the game to the collection...
