Steam greenlight questions

I have a problem. I am more than willing to buy BeamNG. I have had tons of fun with the tech demo, but I want to have BeamNG on steam. If i buy BeamNG off this website, will i be able to have it on steam when it's released? Like getting a serial number to input into steam. Is that a possibility?

 

Yes, you will get a Steam Key if you buy it on their website first.

 

Ive seen this answered in 30+ threads. We have a search bar for a reason.

 

Don't worry, you will get a Steam key if you buy the game on this website

 

A feature on Steam is that you can just bang in your key from the website, and the game will be added to your steam library I did it with Euro Truck Sim 2 Because I got it on a disk, but I was fed up with manually updating the game, so I looked on Steam and in my library of games, there was a little + sign at the bottom. I clicked it and it gave me three options. I'm not sure if this works for just Steam games or any game.

 

Hardly any games actually. Think there are about 20 games it actually works for.

 

Well i cant do this, for example with dirt 3 and formula 2012 (which are both by codemaster and on steam)
I have them on disk.

 

No, very very few games actually support it. Eurotruck is the exception, not the norm.

THis is the official list, turns out its alot longer than 20 as I said previously, but it should be noted that over half the games on this list are steam exclusive. Skyrim for example cannot be installed without steam and you are essentially just getting a steam purchase in a box.

 

Yep, you just backed up my suspicions

well soon it will be 21 (BeamNG) unless they use a different key type, in which case nvm
