snowdog Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Hi, I'm considering backing PoE2 via Fig crowdfunding. Assuming development goes ahead and the game is released, would I be able to play via Steam - or would play be via some other mechanism? Many thanks, Neil
Rolandur Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Just can't play it on the By-tor network. ~grins~

After the funding period ends on Feb. 24th, Obsidian will put up a backer website and everyone who backed the game will be able to log into the website and enter preferences for Steam or GoG, specify shipping info for any physical goods etc. When the game is released you will get a Steam key (and I will get GoG key because DRM is bad -- but, to each his own). There is a menu item in the Steam app that allows you to redeem the key and have the game added to your library. 2

That's a great answer, Yonjuro. 1 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle

I tried to think of the information that would have been useful to know the first time I backed a game.
grumpymoose Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Huh, didn't notice the little Linux icon earlier. Cute. Oh and the microsoft store! I know everyone is just so eager to jump on the universal windows app wagon. “I cannot forget the follies and vices of others so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost is lost forever.” - Pride and Prejudice
Voodoo Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 It's not MS Store logo. Those five icons just mean "GoG and Steam on Windows, Linux and OS X".
LordCrash Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Yeah, the Win10 store would only make sense if they ever made an Xbox version - which will likely never happen. Edited February 5, 2017 by LordCrash
