BB addon to Steam Purchase?

[Bloody Hypocrite]

I was just wondering if someone that preordered PoE on steam could go to http://eternity.obsidian.net/backer/addons and add the beta access? There was some confusion with a friend of mine who has just purchased PoE on steam because he saw me playing the "Pillars of Eternity - Public Beta."(really should be changed to PoE Backer Beta on steam) Any help would be most appreciated.

Only "Backers" have the ability to purchase beta keys. Those who pre-ordered after the backer period cannot. That being said, YOU could actually purchase a key for your friend.

Thanks for the quick reply Leferd. Would I need to buy a extra digital copy for him, or would the Beta Addon be sufficient?

The Beta Addon would be sufficient. Once purchased you'd just go to your products page and then copy the extra beta key and send it to him. Having said that I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper for him if he cancelled his steam preorder and you got him a copy of the game as well as the beta through the backer portal.
