ET3D: From the Klei Entertainment FAQ post on the forum:

-----------------------------
Is Don't Starve Together available to non-Steam users?

Don't Starve Together uses a lot of the Steam API's to function, hence, at this time, Don't Starve Together is only available on Steam.
-----------------------------

I guessed that would be the case the moment I read it was a multiplayer game.

As for The Last Door, they do say that it's a thanks for feedback from the Steam community, but I figure that it won't hurt if some GOG owners of the game e-mail to ask them if proof of purchase from GOG is good enough. It seems though that it's just a discount, not "freebies" as the OP posted.

micktiegs_8: That's a ridiculous statement if I ever heard one. They even publicly announced that players can have their own choice of private player servers with up to six people, or dedicated servers for up to 20 people.
edit: so if indeed the private servers used Steam API, why can they only have six people?
Probably because they wanted to set the limit at 6 people.
It's early access, it makes sense to use an api for the "largest" part of the userbase for testing.

Soccorro: UPDATE: some of you have had problems finding "the purchase proof". We mean the mail that Steam send when you buy a game :)

Novotnus: Anybody tried to send GOG purchase mail? :)
Somebody should do this! :D

Might lead to lulzworthy results.


edit: So, I got this correct: Steam users that bought The Last Door don't actually get any freebies, they just get a discount for their premium members website? In that case, I probably won't put it on the list. They're probably doing GOG users a favour, this looks like an attempt to bait some retards into subscribing to their premium access, thinking they'll get teh free stuff when their subscription fee already paid for that.

I bought the game on Bundlestars, not in a bundle but "standalone", I have no receipt anymore, nor I can "log" into Bundlestars because I have not an account (I purchase each time, with the same mail, without logging in the site).

So, how can I send a proof of purchase?

EDIT: How, I found I have an account and my purchases are here. Well, I sent a receipt copy from Bundlestars.

All hail most glorious and superior nation Amerika!

What really pisses me off about the list is the Rise of the Triad people. I guess you can't trust someone that implements jumping puzzles that precise.

Regarding Don't Starve, I have when the early access post started and got [url=http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/46183-dont-starve-and-dont-starve-together/#entry584599]this officially. Make what you want out of it.

I've also spent about an hour bitching at the dev about it and it didn't get much better.

Needless to say I'm pissed to high hell about that right now... not that I couldn't see it being 'delayed' but this...

My only answer to the exclusives for steam is to encourage the developers to make them available outside of Steam at a later date. I've seen that happen with some games later on after some time have passed.

I'm not happy about exclusives like extra episodes, levels, or secrets with any game. Sorry, developers but I only want the main game. Extras aren't always great. I wonder if they understand that all these exclusives will be seen on Youtube, Blip and other websites when people start to do reviews and playthroughs of the games. Then we will see just how good they look.

ALLRIGHT! People I have received an answer!

I must have annoyed them to the point, where they offered me to verify my GOG.com Don't Starve Serial number and give me a key for the steam version of the game...

Should've bought Steam copy from the start. That'd have saved you headache and Klei as well.

I'm guessing Soccorro went to their headquarters and made the most annoying sound in the world.

all jokes apart it is pretty sad to see devs refusing to stick with gog to such a level that they are offering free key rather than deal with gog. I hope whatever is causing them to stay away from is fixed and worked out by the gog team when they release gog galaxy

I'd say that depends on how similar does GOG manage to make their multiplayer API to Steam's multiplayer API - if you could just switch libraries, and it'd work, yay! I'm sure there's no way it'd be that easy, but one can always hope, especially since GOG claims to make use of Steam's API for cross-platform multiplayer

i hope so they have been looking into the feedback given for galaxy from users as well and testing it with the community.
Galaxy is what i have been dreaming of lol convenience of steam like client but with the promise that offline will work no matter what situations
