Can we link collector's edition with steam ?

[[FR] Doomydeimos]

I don't want to link to bethesda launcher...see, my friends are on steam, and I take the pc collector... someone know something about it ?

All physical copies and CD keys redeem on Bethesda Launcher

[[FR] Doomydeimos]

Oh no... This is hell...the real one !

Yeah, Bethesda's not quite understanding that with Epic already ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gamers with exclusivity, them doing something similar will have consequences in the long run...

You should still be able to have Steam launch the game thereby allowing you to use Steam's overlay so you can chat and whatnot with your friends. I do this with Diablo 3 and Fallout 76 which are Blizzard and Bethesda exclusive respectively.

I mean , i would agree , and i don't like the idea of this , but let's be honest here: It's their game , they have right to do it. Epic do not own any of the games what they paid for.

I know what you were talking about and I explained that it wasn't a Steam game, ie that it wasn't available on Steam due to the nature of the store front.
You might have to wait till release to see if the collectors edition can be linked, have you asked on Beth forums?

[[FR] Doomydeimos]

yep, no answers yet !

[⚡Snake⚡Plissken⚡]

K, make sure if you do get an answer that you post a reply here, I am sure others would like to know too.
GL with it though.

My purchase of the CE is dangling on being able to get it on steam. Fingers crossed.

Otherwise gonna be honest I may wait for a steam sale on this game.

I mean, if you care enough, and to be fair, you might, it wouldn't be much trouble to exchange the key through a few steps or another. Like selling it for a slight discount on Ebay, and then buy the key for the steam version somewhere else or directly. And honestly, if enough people ask them, or if you're polite, they might be willing to exchange it via customer support. You already skipped the 30% revenue cut by getting the CE from their site or another source(Ebay, gamestop, whatever, Idk etc) so I don't see why they can't offer that service with no expense paid to them for it save for electricity and a few minutes of time.

Because Beth doesn't care and wants us to use its proprietary launcher, I guess.

According to https://gear.bethesda.net/products/doom-eternal-collectors-edition "The PC Version of the game will come with a printed code and the code is redeemable on Bethesda.net. Please review our General Policies and the section about video game purchases."

I don't think it's a matter of being polite, because they aren't showing enough politeness to us to let us get the game on the platform we want even though we're paying hundreds of dollars for a special edition. I think we'll need to make some noise, some kind of twiddler-poundsign campaign or some crap to show them we're not happy. Maybe then they'll care.

Sage, I'm skeptical they'd replace it. I may just have to give up on the CE. I'll check with their twitter team but odds are they wont even respond.
