I suspected this would happen from the beginning. TTG's comments that "there are no plans to add a Telltale store bought game to Steam" were somewhat misleading, though. (I'm going to try to find that post now, I was quoting from memory)

This might be the post you were talking about? I had the same thought so was pleasantly suprised when I saw Poker Night in my Steam library.

So far only The Devil's Playhouse and Poker Night have TF2 items and the only way to get those is to put in a code on steam. For some reason, we're getting poker night on steam which wasn't planned apparently. I don't think we'll be unlocking our Telltale games on steam unless each game gets a TF2 item or Telltale and Valve become very close.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I was looking at my library since I wanted to install something I bought a while ago, and noticed the game there.

Well, that's surprising...

Edit: And is it just me, or did the entry in our Telltale purchases list (where we can download the game) change? I could've sworn it said something different.

supmandude85 · 11/12/2010, 03:42 pm

If we play it off Steam can we unlock the TF2 items?

Foxhack · 11/12/2010, 03:51 pm

Uh, yes. :P

supmandude85 · 11/12/2010, 03:55 pm

Oh, ok. Sorry I'm new to Steam.

Foxhack · 11/12/2010, 04:03 pm

No worries, sorry if I made fun of you.

Shen-Zhi · 11/12/2010, 04:23 pm

say what? i bought it on ttg AND steam (that convenience thing, yea)!

just to get ttg the money they deserve. as long as i can afford it i'll keep doing that... (waiting for bttf on steam).

You may just buy from Telltale and wait to see if there will be TF2 items before buying on steam.

I'm going to be mildly miffed if this means it will be as if you purchased the game through Steam, because I forwent the "buy PNatI, get a big discount on something else" deal because I'd rather have the game on Steam. The Steam version did have a discount the other version didn't have, but the discount I'd have gotten the other way would have been bigger.

(At least that worked in the past when I gifted my brother the L4D2 before it was released and he bought TF2 a month later and still got Bill's Hat.)

When you put in the code, you get a download in your tools section of your library. It's the visor.

oh i don't buy stuff for tf2 items. i hardly play that game. only if i see a friend playing it, i join. i really buy twice to assure ttg gets more money.

and a few days ago i just had to rage-post in steamforums because somebody was complaining ttg only made games so ppl have to buy it for those ridiculous tf2-items. still waiting for an infraction or another ban. who cares.

i mean... sam & max, monkey island? really new games? i always wished it would happen but never ever really had the hope it would actually happen!

i only like steam for having everything - my games - in one place without tons of cd's/dvd's on my desk and not having to store them away for future re-use (without any installation-limits mostly).

now all i'm waiting for, is a wing commander sequel, but that's now ea-stuff. ttg is to me now, what lucasarts was back then, in the good old monkey island (and sierra) days. sigh.

If that's the only reason, they'd probably get more if you bought through their site both times.

.

The average SPUFer can be really stupid sometimes,it's funny to see how everybody is crazy for an item (max head) that they said that was unfitting and ruined the art style some months ago;it sucks to be a sam and max fan and not being able to get the items for his rarity (everytime I ask for a big kill everyone wants a ton of stuff)

No, but it's close enough.

Edit: found it!

Gman5852 · 11/14/2010, 12:08 pm

Well I now have the steam version of poker night, yay.
Of course Im going to use the telltale version for when im offline since steams offline mode needs you to be online

and yes Ive done manually setting it up and that just leaves it to chance.

Katana · 11/18/2010, 04:26 pm

What the heck? Why was I not told about that TF2 hats page on the telltale site? I checked around at the telltale site much earlier but didn't find anything. "If you ordered the game from our store prior to noon (Pacific Time) on April 26, 2010, you're good to go" This is bullshit. If it's now literally impossible for me to get the hat even though I paid for the game, I'm gonna be pretty angry.
EDIT: All right, never mind. I had been mixed up about which offer it referred to.

Elvenmonk · 11/18/2010, 08:57 pm

Oh yeah, Steam forums do nothing but complain about non-VALVe games. It's basically 4chan with a registered account.
