To clarify a bit, your purchase from Beamdog doesn't automatically grant or guarantee you a Steam key. But yes, if you contact support we'll hook you up.
Question about Steam/Beamdog/SoD. I previously purchased BGEE&BG2EE through the Steam Store, but want to atone and buy SoD through Beamdog. There won't be any compatibility issues, correct? I'll just be able to import/export characters like normal?
Does it cost BeamDog money to deliver the steam keys?
I guess it would be nice to have Steam keys, just because, but it's not like a big deal, and if it costs them money, I may just not bother asking for them.
Does this apply to BG:EE and BG2:EE? Just asking because I purchased both titles via Beamdog when they were released and there were still issues with Atari and Steam back then.
@Anthedon Yes, if you own the game through Beamdog.com you can request a Steam key via support@beamdog.com
@Kelvryn It's not too late. Go ahead and submit your request.
We're receiving a lot of these requests (which is understandable, given the start to the Road to v2.0 beta event), so if it takes a few days to get your request processed just be patient; our support staff are also helping people with other issues, and those are likely to take priority over Steam key requests.
err Which delivery service do you use to deliver the Collector's edition? I hope Its not Purolator or UPS for that mater. Please say you use USPS. I'm Canadian and ups charges extra...lol
I tried to order the expansion via beamdog to get a steam key BUT I'm only allowed to buy it in a bundle with BG:ee, which I already have (guess where, on steam)
@Yamcha Yes, if you own BG:EE through Steam, you'll need to buy the expansion through Steam once it's released. Preorders are only through Beamdog.com.
@Kelvryn I believe our carrier is USPS for the Collector's Edition, yes.
