Can someone answer the question if we will be able to use our key code to activate it trough steam for the people that have already bought the game?

One of the problems with this is that Valve must be provided with a list of every CD-key printed for the game. That doesn't sound like the sort of info Alec has.

But speaking of Steam... Does anyone else see a problem with this? I hope this doesn't hurt your business.



I'm pretty sure all sales are agreed and negotiated well in advance. Look at bioshock, still worth about £20-£30 on sale for only £3.50.

I think he's referring to the fact that it should say 20% off, not 10%. :P

Why wouldn't he? Cliffski of Kudos and Kudos 2 does. According to his past reports on QT3 I also wouldn't be stranded like I am trying to get the new copy of the game, having me keep a copy of a year old receipt that I need to email you to update IS NOT a good system.

as for getting our existing copies working with Steam...why not go the manual route? Get some promotional codes/credits to download the game from Steam, and then do the same thing you did with the upgrade- have people email you their serial # from their original purchase, and issue them a credit to download the game from Steam. The game files are the same, so it shouldn't be hard to move save files over from the original game to the Steam install, correct?

This sounds extremely time-consuming. After the Windows patch he spent most of his time reactivating downloads for a few days; let's not forget he has other work demands too, eh? :)

Looks like productivity software or a boot-up disc, ugh ... any progress on creating a hard copy? Thanks!  :)

Thank you for bringing it to Steam; if I hadn't seen it during the xmas sale, I would've completely missed this game!
I bought 3 copies.
