Elite: Dangerous just release on Steam

spending 50€ raised from cards, what a waste of money, when you can wait and buy for a way cheaper.

Yarp this is what I meant.

I'm the same way. I have a bad habit of generally only playing games I can obtain on Steam. It took my friend a good deal of effort to convince me to play League of Legends. I was like "but Dota 2 is on Steam." It's just convenient to have my games in one place where it's easy to download and update them amidst other features (join friends, screenshot sharing, etc,). It seems other people find that weird.

Eh. Well maybe the day I see a steam sale that a digital distribution site hasn't beat, I'll understand. I've been waiting for that day for years and it hasn't come yet.

Regardless, hope you end up getting the game =P maybe I'll see you flying around.

Am i simply unaware of how that may be different than money?

Other than the fact that it is a limited asset rather than one you can spend on any whim? Seems more like a negative thing to me than something to yay about.

no. they first said they don't have any plans to give out steam keys. then - after many people complained - they changed that to "we will look into it". after a week of waiting, they said "we need a few weeks to decide, and it's not 100% out decision". whatever that means. they also said it wouldn't be free for them. we know valve gives them an unlimited amount of steam keys...

so i am happy if any of you take a minute and post there something like "we want keys". the more people post there, the better.
