Telltale Games

Cavalieroscuro · 08/29/2012, 01:54 am

I own the game here on TT site,but the Steam version comes with achievement.Can I have a steam key to redeem the game here?I read on the forum they already gave some keys.

Sorry, no, that's not something we can do.

I actually own a big chunk of games direct from you (Sam 'n' Max series, Strong Bad, a smattering of others), and was looking for a way to hook 'em up to my Steam account. Just punchin' in the keys doesn't seem to work (which I guess makes sense).

I see there is an option to "add non-Steam games" to one's Steam binder, but I don't think it has any sort of backup/reinstall capability then (which is kind of the point for me).

Do I really have to buy them again on Steam, in order to have them on there?

Just... want... all of the games... to be in one folder... :P

At this time, Telltale Games does not offer the option to redeem your Telltale Store-purchased games on Steam.
Your only two options are indeed to add the game to your library as a non-Steam game or buy them again from Steam.

That is really weird, and bad. But I must ask, and what about the other way around? I have Back to The Future, Puzzle Agent 1 and 2 and Hector in my Steam account, can I activate it here in my TT account?

Sorry, but not at this time, no.

Why is this not possible?
It would seem trivial, lots of publishers offer Steam keys in addition to their own downloads.

Is this something TTG is looking into?

Each Steam key costs money. Probably not as much as the average consumer would pay but it's definitely a number greater than zero.

Actually that doesn't seem to be true. For lots of developers it apparently doesn't cost them anything to give away keys. I don't see why it would be different for Telltale. Still I don't get this obsession with Steam, to me it's just another DRM'd platform. What I'm really interested in is the games being DRM-free.

Maybe these other developers are willing to pay the costs of giving out keys as a type of promotion activity, or calculate this into the game price in the first place. (I don't know, I'm just guessing.)

That being said, I'd also like it a lot more if all my games were on one platform, but we can't have everything :'(
