The FAQ - I own Elite: Dangerous already, do I get a Steam code for it?

EDIT - latest on this - click here [forums.frontier.co.uk]

latest official word - 'First, I want to thank everyone who helped make our game the number one bestseller on Steam, and to all our players who helped welcome new Commanders into the community. We’re working hard on the game, and it’s great for the team to see so much passion from players.

For those of you who already own Elite: Dangerous from our store and asked about getting the game in your Steam collection: we hear you and we’re looking into it. We can’t speak for other cases where the same question has come up, but turning EliteDangerous.com customers into Steam customers unfortunately isn't 100 percent our decision and isn’t free for us in the context of the game’s ongoing growth and development. It could take a few weeks to work through, but we hear your feedback and addressing it is a priority for all of us.'

'We haven't removed any option - as for providing steam keys for people who already own the game we'll look into it and go from there.

I too would like a Steam key!

[Sikres]

+1 Pls!

[SapphireSouls]

Backed it during Alpha when it was implied the game wouldn't be added to Steam.
With that said, if I'd known it was going to be added, I'd have probably waited to buy it here, instead.

Steam key would very much be appreciated.

I've beta-backed this piece of empty space mediocre wing commander, space-exploring game in like 2013. I deserve a steam key, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, are you expecting me to buy it again or something? RIGHT!

adding a non-stem game to steam is different than having a steam game

You're right it's not hard to add a non-Steam game to Steam. You know what also isn't hard? Giving people who have already purchased ED a Steam key. I guess generating negative press and hate makes more business sense though.

Steam key - yes please :)

[Tincup_the_Middleman]

NO ONE HERE NEEDS A FREAKING KEY BTW. REALLY WISH PEOPLE STOPPED ASKING FOR THEM.

WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR IS FOR THEM TO SYNC YOUR FD ACCOUNT TO YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT.

WHICH WOULD NOT GENERATE ANY TRADEABLE ITEMS AND WOULD COST NOTHING TO ANYONE.

[Bengel]

also if they give us a steam key it would be also possible to write positive comments since this is a great game ofcourse! :D

In case if you just add non-steam game to your library you have no:

• Writing review
  
• Voting for game (Which is still like it)
  
• Fast Steam updates
  
• Access to Community Hub
  
• Publising of Screens
  
• Publising of Art
  
• Streaming
  
• Statistic
  
• Overlay Interface
  
• Chat and voice by Steam tools

Little difference between steam game & non-steam game.

Next step is (i'm sure that this happen):
• Fast payments of DLC
  
• Trading cards
  
• Achievements

P.S.
I think that this thread of fans of game. And for this fans would be nice a write review how they like the game and favorite developer David John Braben. Honestly, I really want to write review.

[Cyrodiil]

I really hope FD get the connection to Steam working... I would really like to write a review or have the Chance to write Guides :(
