Steam Keys for WildTangent purchases?

[*Junon]

I bought this game direct from WildTangent nearly a decade ago (!!!!) and am rather pleasantly surprised to see it on Steam after all these years. This release on Steam is just the base game, correct? And doesn't include Traitor Soul, Cursed King, or Undiscovered Realms?

I am curious if there is a way to acquire a Steam key for my original purchase from WildTangent? It was also for the base game only - although I have played plenty of Torchlight and Torchlight 2 since then, as well!

Please let me know if this is possible and what process to follow.

Same, though I bought it retail CD, not digital download.

I really doubt it. I'm not sure why you'd get a Steam key for a game you bought before Steam even existed.

Hey, I was able to activate my Half-Life GOTY edition on Steam, and got a ton of extra stuff to boot :)

Steam was available on 2004.

Steam was launched in 2003, before FATE was released. That FATE was released before Steam was a general-purpose digital distribution storefront shouldn't really matter - I still have an active WT account, with a digital copy of FATE associated with it. Besides that, the age of the game or Steam as a service shouldn't really matter - Since WildTangent is still a company in operation, it's not unreasonable to ask if they can generate Steam keys for their original customers, which they can easily verify I am.

Several other game publishers provide Steam keys for their products once they're folded into the service.

To be clear, I'm not arguing that I'm *entitled* to a Steam key and if the publisher declines to give them or simply doesn't respond, it's no big deal. But receiving Steam keys for games that are brought onto the service after purchasing them elsewhere isn't without precedent.

Hmm, just logged into WT site, and it says no licenses / purchased games. But why would I have created a wild tangent account if my copies of FATE and Undiscovered Realms didn't require it?

I just messaged WildTangent with my purchase info and they said they won't be giving out Steam keys. Reasonable, but still a little disappointing.

i purchased it off WildTangent too :P

Ah well. I know I wont' be spending any more money on this game or its sequels anyway, unless they show up in a bundle of games I would've purchased even without them.

Half life is a valve game.

I have all fate games on WT and I would soooooooooooooo love to import them to here...
But if that Fate is the compilation of all fates (I guess it won't be?) I'd happily pay those 5€ again, but not for every single fate game again. That would be too much.

please let us import it... pretty pleeeaassseeee

Is this the only game you guys have ever bought prior to it coming to Steam or something? It's not going to happen. I'd have like 100 extra games unlocked on Steam if I could just go back and somehow import and unlock games I've bought in the past now that they're on Steam.
