register games purchased on Steam

[Junshi]

Hello all,

Can someone help me register my games with Sltherine that I purchased on steam? When you get to the register screen on Slitherine's website they require a product key, which does not come with a steam purchase.

sorry there is no way to register a key which comes from steam on the site, but works the other way around, if you buy from the site, and the game is released now or at a future date, you also get a steam key to use with your purchase, doesn't work with GOG games either i'm sorry to say

I guess I will be buying all my games here from now on just because of that reason. Thanks for the help Zak.

no problem, welcome to the board and forum and enjoy your games

I have the reverse issue. I purchased on Slitherine and installed it awhile ago. Now, I want to see what it was like on Steam. I have the Key. Before I screw something up I wanted to check.
Will Steam install a new version of War in the West-Grigsby? Will it mess up anything with my existing installation if I don't take precautions? Will I still be able to play my offline version that was originally installed before Steam?
I am really new to this online stuff so please use small words if possible
Thanks for the help

welcome to the forum, and the answer is No,

Will it mess up anything with my existing installation

it installed inside of a steam installer, so is a totally different package and place than the site version, i have both installed, as site one i use for beta game installs, and steam for me is just the released full version etc

Will Steam install a new version of War in the West-Grigsby?

Yes
