Perhaps update FAQ on steam keys?

[metalnwood]

Hi,  I just came over here as I heard about the VR update so I purchased on the il2 site as it said all $$ goes to devs.   I do like all my games on steam when I can as it makes them easy to manage so I had a quick look at the FAQ prior and it said what I had to do to get a steam key.

 

    Not unlike other games where I have sone the same thing. So I went ahead and bought from here rather than steam

 

    Unfortunately as soon as I purchased I followed the instructions and I was told for the first time that you cant transfer to steam unless you were a pre-order.

 

    Given it doesnt say that in the faq perhaps it could be made more clear that if you buy from the il2 site you cannot get a steam key.

 

 

Thanks!

Maybe contact support and they can get you sorted??

 

for future reference, you can buy BoS on Steam and the rest (DLC) on this website and use it on steam it wont show you own the DLC on steam but youll have it in game  :D

I did the same thing.

 

I purchased BoS from the IL2 website, thinking that I would be able to get a Steam key since it says you can in the FAQ.

 

As soon as I clicked "get Steam key" it tells me that I can't.

 

But if you buy the game on Steam, it's very easy to get a non-Steam key.

 

Not the end of the world but I do like to have my games on Steam for metrics and social. I should have just picked it up on Steam so I could get both keys. Too late now. Sucks for those of us who want to support the devs but like using Steam.

I bought BoS on steam for the same reasons then bought everything else on the il2 store to support the devs!

 

its actually the only game i have ever "supported" (at least deliberately) and bought everything it has to offer. this team/studio really cares and communicates with their audience and that makes me feel confident in that theyll keep on doing a great job.
