Telltale Games

@Alan Johnson

Please make sure that the steam people won't get the game one second earlier!

I use steam very much, i bought sam&max season 2 and 3 there, but i want to buy the telltale games from you more often. It's nice to get the Puzzle Agent from you, and the donation thing is very nice.

greetings from germany
big telltale fan, tomsen

You can add other games to your Steam games list, so you can launch them from your game library window, but that doesn't make them "Steam Games," as in they don't show up when you buy a new computer, etc. It's just a shortcut to an outside game, in your Steam list.

Steam is a good service for sure. Not too happy that you need to be online for Single players games too, but well I guess there is no way around that these days.

My biggest grief with steam are the prices though. Considering steam has 30 million subscribers you would think that they would be able to do more offers.
Actually, they are one of the most expansive for a weird reason.

I can get actual hardcopies a lot cheaper in the shops or from Amazon.
Feels sometimes to me as Valve is missusing their monopoly a bit there.

"Back to the Future" I will definitely get from Telltale directly as for me I don't see ab benefit in using the Steam service over the Telltale one (both are equally good in my eyes).
Not sure if this is true, but I also think if I buy directly from Telltale, the guys who actually make the game are getting more money.

I hope so! A good reason to buy it from the developer!

If I can order from the developer directly, I usually always do even if it would be more expensive.

But Telltale usually does great deals for their games.
Jus saw that they had all three Sam&Max Seasons for 20$. Even though I own the first season already for PC (DVD Version) and for Wii, I don't have the 2nd and 3rd season.
That is an amazing price, even for techichally just two seasons for me.

While I ordered that, I directly preordered BttF too.

Telltale actually had a deal on here, for those of us who pre-ordered Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse, we were also given the game again on Steam because of the Team Fortress 2 Promotion, which required the game on Steam. So us lot who purchased directly from Telltale got the game again on Steam.

Did we?? I preordered S&M:TDP and I didn't!

Yeah you had to go to the Telltale TF2 Hats website, Log In to your Telltale account and it would say if you qualified or not, if you did, it gave you a code to use on Steam to add Sam & Max Season 3 to your games.

Rather Dashing · 10/28/2010, 05:20 pm

The site is still up, too.

Minizigzag · 12/11/2010, 03:22 pm

Will back to the future game also be enable on steam?

or what?

Rather Dashing · 12/11/2010, 03:31 pm

It's pretty much a forgone conclusion. Telltale have been great buddies with Steam and all of their games so far have been on Steam and every game has come up for pre-order on their site before Steam. I have absolutely no doubts that this game will be available on Steam as well(though you won't get the Season DVD and you're not likely to get the Puzzle Agent pre-order bonus).

Coreador · 12/11/2010, 03:44 pm

Just FYI, GamersGate has it for pre-order:
www.gamersgate.com

They are a downloadable games site similar to Steam and Impulse. I use all three services, because often they have different great sales on things.

It's a little less than Telltale direct ($21.20) but doesn't have the extras. And if you keep your eye on Telltale's 30 days of Christmas sale, you might see something better (I grabbed the free BTTF card game deal they had a week or so ago).

Zodler · 12/11/2010, 04:30 pm

I want this on Steam too.

Alan Johnson · 12/11/2010, 10:13 pm

Back to the Future will be available for purchase on Steam.

Suspense killer... should have remained a mystery for at least another week.

Mysticales · 12/14/2010, 07:47 am

Well I wouldve PREFERED to have preordered on steam, I like all my games lately to be on one big list, which OK Alan... this means you are gonna get 2 sales from me >.< My preorder I did here. (I like the idea Im getting the DVD) Then one day when Steam has a sale on it. Ill reorder it again just to put it on my steam list. =)

do_math · 12/14/2010, 09:29 am

Or you could just add a shortcut of the non-steam game to your steam list...

You won't be able to uninstall it or reinstall it through steam but it will be in the list.

zmally · 12/14/2010, 02:08 pm

but not "the game again on steam", right? I thought he meant the entire season of games to activate on steam!
