Fixed that for you.

You realize that you get a 50% discount on anything else you buy with Puzzle Agent right now? I'm not sure how a better deal could come along later.

Nobody knows how Steam works behind the scenes. Why shouldn't Telltale be the ones who release the game after uploading it to Steam?

I got Episode 203 for free when I preordered Season 3 on Steam. Now, there is a much better discount. Why might there not be the same this time. There might be a Telltale-week on Steam where everyday, another game is 66% off or something like that.

Sorry for the delay!

Jake already answered this earlier in the thread -- sometimes things go on sale. There could always be a better offer at some point in the future. At some point you make a decision whether you want to buy now or hold off for a better deal. It's your choice.

Thats clear to me it's just that usually there isn't SUCH an offer so close to the game's release. If the package would at least cost 1€ more than I payed for the Sam & Max season I'd feel much better. Yes, I know, there wouldn't be any advantage for me but it's like you have the choice if everyone gets 100€ or all others gets 500€ and you just 150€. Most people would prefer the first choice.

You get what you pay for; an inferior version.

If that's perfectly fine for you, yeah, get it on Steam...

and also tf2 hats, now that you mention.

When buying now you'll get: "Puzzle Agent, $7.5 discount"

Plus you get to play all the episodes as soon as they are released
This is not a plus, maybe except the first episode. You'll get the other 4 right on time.

I mean, if I'd known this was coming, I'd prefer the Puzzle Agent one. I could wait 3 more weeks to play the first episode.

Edit: Also, I loved the game. I don't have any regrets paying 35$. Don't misunderstand me

That's what sucks for me. I paid for the full version... and I still end up with a later release than normal PC. Buyer beware on Steam

As you can see from some of the other posts today, not everyone wants to wait that long...

Meanwhile, the old offer was removed. Now, you can buy Season 2, 3 and Monkey Island for 45,99€ - An even better deal for people new to telltale games but it's more than the single season price. So, I'm happy with that. (60€ for All S&M games + Monkey island next wednesday i guess)
