With the current situation on Steam, I'd like to bump this topic briefly, and would appreciate it if someone on the Telltale team could please respond.
During Steam's Holiday Sale, they're running a contest where people receive gifts, coupons, and entries into a sweepstakes, simply for playing games and scoring achievements. This year, at least 2 Telltale titles are part of this contest. Jurassic Park (with the "Holiday Bonus" achievement announced today) and Puzzle Agent 2 (which hasn't been announced by Steam yet, but which seems a no brainer for inclusion with the "Christmas Tree Census" achievement that was added).
This creates a bit of a problem for many devoted Telltale fans. Because we went out of our way to support Telltale by purchasing the games through the Telltale store, we don't have a Steamworks enabled copy of the game, and so can't actually score these achievements. This in particular hurts people who purchased the Deluxe editions of the game, which were unavailable on Steam in the first place.
In the past, Telltale have provided Steam keys for pre-order customers of Poker Night at the Inventory. While that was undoubtedly a special occasion, I would ask if Telltale might consider somehow enabling this for their customers again on these two particular titles (and any other Telltale titles included in this contest, though I don't think there are any), either for free, or for a small nominal fee to partially or fully cover whatever Steam might be charging you for doing it.
