About the Steam code

[genkal]

First of all thanks for the code
I'd like to show that there are some customers who understand that problems might happen and appreciate what you did to apologize.

By the way, do we now own all the 5 episodes on steam or just the first one?

Thanks again!

Just the first one. I'm thankful for the steam code, and techincal problems can happen. What I'm curious about is why it was released on steam so early? Did they have an old build, as they wanted to meet their target deadline?

My understanding is that this key is for the first episode only

The PC version does not get separate episodes, only the full season. So the Steam key is for the complete season of TWD.

And what about the savegames, should I play by using Steam, when the game will be released on the TT website?

@Danny_HR: That is your understanding or did someone from TTG confirm this?

The savegames work on both versions.
But why would you not use the SteamVersion?

I know PC didn't get the episodes separately, but it is my understanding that the key is for the full season.

It's logical if you look at it. How can there be a code for a single TWD episode on steam if the game is only sold complete?

Because I hate to install Steam. It's bloated, full of DRM and spyware-like program in my opinion. You can think differently, and that's ok to me: but anyone decides what to install on his own PC If I wanted to use Steam, I would have bought the game from Steam, otherwise, and not directly from TT. I'll just wait the full release on TT server.

I'd really like a confirmation from some dev if that code is for the 5 episodes or just the first one..

Its for all 5 episodes if you bought the 25$ pack. THE OTHER EPISODES ARE NOT RELEASED YET.

You will be receiving a new episode each month.

I appreciate they did this, I was very upset last night regarding TellTale not giving the download and Steam having posted it hours before.


Gives me hope in TellTale and I will reconsider purchasing another TellTale game because they did what I feel is the right thing to do under those circumstances.

THIS

I STILL have not played my game and I am STILL not happy one bit. If they really wanted to compensate us they would give us an option for ps3, xbox, mac OR steam version. Cuz I also refuse to install Steam on the computer.

On top of that, I got to try the Steam version yesterday on my bro's computer, and it was near unplayable. So many graphics glitches and missing polygons it was ridiculous. No thank you

Same here TTG, Technical sh*t can always hit the fan, I (we) know you're probably busy fixing it but it can't happen in a hearthbeat.

Thank you for the Steam Code... but i'm not gonna install steam, i'll be patient and wait it out.

Reasons for me not installing Steam have already been given by "jojoman" in a previous post.

Also...
This is the e-mail most people will have gotten from TTG informing them of the problem.

Greetings from Telltale Headquarters!

As you may know, the first episode of The Walking Dead launched today to rave reviews from fans and critics alike. You’re receiving this email because you’re awesome and decided to pre-order the full season directly from our store. Due to some unforeseen technical difficulties on our end, we have run into some issues making the game available directly on our site, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We know you’re super excited about this game and that you’re a loyal Telltale Games fan, and we totally appreciate that. Instead of making you wait any longer for us to clear this issue up, we’d like to provide you with a Steam key so you can download and play the game right now. Don’t worry, though, the official Telltale version will still be made available to you as soon as possible. Until then, please enjoy the game on Steam!

Note the last sentence: "Until then, please enjoy the game on Steam!" So it could very well be that they will revoke the Steam code's as soon as the TTG Server is up and running again. Just saying.

What happens if we pre-ordered but didn't receive a Steam code? I've searched all through my email, but I never got one

Mike said they were going out in batches and they will be sending more out as soon as they open this morning.

The Steam code is for both PC and Mac and if you got the code you were planning to play the game on one of these platforms. Also it's not really a compensation but a workaround until Telltale figures out their stuff.

I think i read in another topic that they where gonna send out more Steam codes today, but it wasn't specified when that would happen.

NO, Steam is its own separate platform... Their own slogan "Steam, The Ultimate Online Game Platform"

Nuff said on that. I'm not gonna play on a platform I didn't order it on unless I'm given the option of what platform!!!

There's no way I'm installing Steam with their POS TOS on my system. TT should give us an option of Steam, xbox or PS3. I don't want "compensation" for the whole season I just want the damn first episode so I can play it!!! I'm not asking for $25 of games(Although the Almost Everything pack for free would be awesome ) I just want the first $5 episode.

If they are almost done with the TTG version, they need to keep us posted. For that matter, they needed to tell us what the exact problem was to start with instead of just "Oh our server doesn't work, sorry. Goodnight everybody"
