Pledges Can't Use Steam To Play

[Shamiah]

It's a shame that this is the case. I'm not sure why it was announced before they knew if it would work. Guessing not a huge issue for most.

The official word is:

"We wanted to take a moment to clarify a point regarding Steam access and current pledges. It has been the plan to allow current pledges to gain access to the game via Steam. We are still working on this possibility, but it does appear to be complicated. With that in mind, current pledges will likely need to continue to access Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen via our own launcher through Early Access.

We will update on this topic as we learn more. Thank you! ❤️"

Nothing is stopping anyone from just linking any given game you want to your steam account though. In fact, I do that with a few of my emulated games because Steam has better controller support. It is inconvenient for people who want all the Steam bells and whistles, but it's not the end of the world imho.

Oh noes! I won't be able to get my spiffy Pantheon trading cards.

or... some people want to keep their library in one place

Why I brought this up wasn't because of Trading Cards or having my library in one place (but I do love both of those things). It was more that if Pledges were allowed to be on Steam they would be more inclined to write positive reviews which would help get the game more positive exposure.

I think in a way it's a mistake to call this Early Access. People are going to expect one thing and it's really another. Then will they leave bad reviews? I'm hoping it's at least a Mixed reviews. We will see how it goes.

[Shamiah]

Yeah. That is a very valid and interesting point.
