Redeeming your Steam key

Post by Surtur »

*** EDIT ***

The process of redeeming a Steam key has been changed because of the new site design. Please see the new instructions here:

Do we have to get a Steam Key? Will all future releases for CMANO only be available through Steam?

I'm pleased with this announcement. Personally I prefer to have Steam available as an option.

Awesome. Thanks for giving us Steam as an option. I will say that I registered my key and received a steam key. The game is now in my Steam library, albeit locked at the moment. No problems with the process.

I really like Steam. This makes me a little happy. Will we still be able to use beta updates?

Oh, and will Steam Workshop work for this? Might be a cool/simple way of updating database pics, scenarios and stuff.

Not initially, but we do want to make use of the Steam features down the road.

Don't worry, if you do not wish to use Steam, nothing will change and all future updates will be available to non-Steam versions as well :)

That is good to hear. I am not a fan of Valve/Steam, and would be greatly disappointed if CMANO was too closely linked to it.

No rants. No laundry list of issues to present. Rather, suffice to say I don't buy games that are dependent on Steam; I won't load it on my computer. If CMANO has the option for Steam -- fine, no problem. I understand why and that some people/clients/customers prefer it. I simply don't, and appreciate the intent to allow non-Steam participation.

Steam is just another store we're selling Command in and you do not have to convert if you don't want to.

Thanks Mike. I hope it is a successful addition for you guys, and that you realize additional sales revenue. You have an outstanding product with a limited install base, the more people you reach the better.

Good to hear that youre viewing it as just another store. I looked into trying to obtain my Steam key "just to have it" and was totally confused by the process.

Seconded, workshop for scenarios / units / import lists would be awesome.

I am eager to integrate CMANO with Steam in order to manage/automate updates. I have my Steam key, generated by my original CMANO download key, but I am not sure how to use this to bring the game into Steam. I do not think it's via the Steam?Games/Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library service . I suspect the Steam key is used to re-purchase the game on Steam, obviously free of charge. However, the game is not yet for sale on Steam. Can anyone confirm or correct my assumptions here and let me know if there is anything I should be doing now with my Steam Key rather than wait intil the game goes on sale at Steam on the 26th? Many thanks.

No I think you just need to get your key and wait for release. Once that happens it will be like any other steam game.

So if I buy the game on Steam using my key, does that mean I will have a redundant install on my HD that I should delete? Or will it simply integrate my current install into Steam? Sorry about the boring questions but I try to be as tidy as possible in managing file storage on my PC. Many thanks.

If you already own the game you don't need to buy anything. Just redeem your key.(Look at Surtur's post at the top of the page)

If you don't want to use steam we'll be releasing an update shortly which you can update in the usual way.

Thanks!

But where so I input the Steam key once I have it? In CMANO? On the Steam Store page? In other words, what do I do with the Steam key in order to convert CMANO into a game for which Steam will handle updates? Again, I apologise if I am being obtuse; Mike, you are a very patient man.
