Register game bought on Steam
Just bought Gettysburg on steam. How do I get the serial number to register it on this site?
Re: Register game bought on Steam
sorry it doesn't work this way, but the other way around, if you buy from the site here, and the game is released on steam also, you get a site key and a steam key, the site key can be registered here, but steam keys can't

I'm sorry but Steam doesn't allow any longer 3rd party keys. So it's like zakblood says, you can only register a game in your Matrix/Slitherine account if you purchase from our store.

Re: Register game bought on Steam
So does that mean you cannot register to download hotfixes?
Re: Register game bought on Steam
no, it means you have no need to register the game in your account, as all patches for your version come from steam on auto load and install anyway, so in that respect it's the same version, only site once uses a manual auto updater and site held patches for manual download for the site version if a used has an issue with the manual in game updater.
you will get the patches and hotfixes on steam as soon as they are released and approved by steam.

I get that. But hotfixes like the one already posted are slower, and you might not get a specific hotfix as it might be rolled into a larger update on steam.
For games that I purchased via website and registered on steam, if I want the hotfix, I can download an apply to my steam directory. I do it with CMANO all the time.
Not a major issue, just slows it down. Definitely will be buying the other way around going forward, which is probably better for the software companies anyway,

i prefer to buy from site myself, and then get a steam key also for that reason.

Re: Register game bought on Steam
I usually do the same, but as I had the chance to get me all the DLC for "Order of Battle" for one third of the price in the Slitherine Store, I had to jump over my shadow and bought them on Steam.
All other games and DLC I buy in the Slitherine Store - because of the standalone ability and loyality to Slitherine!
