Does purchasing through Steam work?

Post by Mc Rex » Sat Jan 04, 2014 11:22 am

So I'm considering buying it through Steam, but I've heard that that freaks out due to some problem between Steam and Wolfire. Would any of you reccomend buying it through Steam?

There are some reports here that when someone have purchased Overgrowth from Steam they don't see the Overgrowth CD key and they can't get access to the Secret Preorder forum because of that.
Also there are reports that when OG is bought through Steam then they don't get free Receiver and low light combat steam keys. Maybe that's why there are 2 dollar differences between Steam and Humble bundle prize.
I personally recommend you bought it through Humble bundle store, then you will have 2 extra free games Reciver and low light combat Steam keys and also you shouldn't have problems with receiving Steam key for Overgrowth.

If you see my previous thread I'm having trouble with both payment options for purchasing the game through Humble Bundle, at least on this site from the interactive menu.

There are too many preorderes joined in the couple of days and looks like noone else is having problem with it.
What do you mean by interactive menu,this?
Just incase you don't know where humble bundle store is, here is a link to it.
You can try to buy it from there also.

Yeah, that thing. Wasn't sure what to call it. I'll try it from the Humble store though.

Edit: It worked. Thanks.

So now what do I do to get access to the preorder forum?

Also, I'm not getting any emails from the Humble guys. Not getting a password reset email either.

I just got the game a couple of hours ago. However the method to gain access to the secret forums is kinda tedious and confusing to me for a while.
