Until now I got all my Telltale games on Steam. However in the recent Puzzle Agent sale and the insane Sam & Max sale, I got all of them here on Telltale too.
I'd love to get the games on my Steam account (no, I don't mean adding shortcuts through Steam), but I'm not buying Telltale games through Steam ever again!
I'm a big fan of the monkey island and so bought the Tales of a Monkey Island and loved them ! I'm sure TT Games will make a great game out of Back to The Future but I would to know if we have any information on if they will release it (and prerealese it) through Steam.
Given how almost Telltale's entire library is available on Steam already, I'm sure BttF will be sold on there soon.
Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to get it off the Telltale Store, though? Just out of curiosity.
Well I like to have my games regroup at one or 2 places.So for several now years I buy only digital games through steam mostly or blizzard for starcraft 2(example) the last game I bought that came with a box was FEAR 2 and I did that because it was on steam so even if I have the box I have it on my steam account
I reformat a lot my computer and with steam I don't need to reinstall my games I keep them all on an second hard drive (1TO of game ^^) AND since I got a laptop on linux to work (I develop) Steam is the easiest platform to virtualize with wine
(got all my games on 2 pc thanks to steam)
I say all that without saying the autoupdate the steam friend the steam gift etc... I bought the complet Monkey Island pack for a friend on steam
Back to the Future will be available on Steam. It just isn't available to order there as of yet.
Purchasing the game through the Telltale Games Store is the only way to get Puzzle Agent for free, have a dollar from your purchase go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and gain access the Insider Forums though.
Sadly, I'm probably going to end up double-dipping on this. I really want the Steam release of the games, but I'm also going to want to be able to pick up the DVD release with goodies when it inevitably becomes available.
I suppose it's unreasonable to pre-order the games through the Telltale store and hope they can be transferred to my Steam account as well?
Please make sure that the steam people won't get the game one second earlier!
I use steam very much, i bought sam&max season 2 and 3 there, but i want to buy the telltale games from you more often. It's nice to get the Puzzle Agent from you, and the donation thing is very nice.
Actually I'm pretty sure there is some option on steam for you to load up other games onto it(I remember nearly adding spider solitare to my account)
You can add other games to your Steam games list, so you can launch them from your game library window, but that doesn't make them "Steam Games," as in they don't show up when you buy a new computer, etc. It's just a shortcut to an outside game, in your Steam list.
Steam is a good service for sure. Not too happy that you need to be online for Single players games too, but well I guess there is no way around that these days.
My biggest grief with steam are the prices though. Considering steam has 30 million subscribers you would think that they would be able to do more offers.
Actually, they are one of the most expansive for a weird reason.
I can get actual hardcopies a lot cheaper in the shops or from Amazon.
Feels sometimes to me as Valve is missusing their monopoly a bit there.
"Back to the Future" I will definitely get from Telltale directly as for me I don't see ab benefit in using the Steam service over the Telltale one (both are equally good in my eyes).
Not sure if this is true, but I also think if I buy directly from Telltale, the guys who actually make the game are getting more money.

I hope so! A good reason to buy it from the developer!

If I can order from the developer directly, I usually always do even if it would be more expensive.
But Telltale usually does great deals for their games.
Jus saw that they had all three Sam&Max Seasons for 20$. Even though I own the first season already for PC (DVD Version) and for Wii, I don't have the 2nd and 3rd season.
That is an amazing price, even for techichally just two seasons for me.
While I ordered that, I directly preordered BttF too.
Telltale actually had a deal on here, for those of us who pre-ordered Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse, we were also given the game again on Steam because of the Team Fortress 2 Promotion, which required the game on Steam. So us lot who purchased directly from Telltale got the game again on Steam.

Yeah you had to go to the Telltale TF2 Hats website, Log In to your Telltale account and it would say if you qualified or not, if you did, it gave you a code to use on Steam to add Sam & Max Season 3 to your games.
It's pretty much a forgone conclusion. Telltale have been great buddies with Steam and all of their games so far have been on Steam and every game has come up for pre-order on their site before Steam. I have absolutely no doubts that this game will be available on Steam as well(though you won't get the Season DVD and you're not likely to get the Puzzle Agent pre-order bonus).
They are a downloadable games site similar to Steam and Impulse. I use all three services, because often they have different great sales on things.
It's a little less than Telltale direct ($21.20) but doesn't have the extras. And if you keep your eye on Telltale's 30 days of Christmas sale, you might see something better (I grabbed the free BTTF card game deal they had a week or so ago).
Well I wouldve PREFERED to have preordered on steam, I like all my games lately to be on one big list, which OK Alan... this means you are gonna get 2 sales from me >.< My preorder I did here. (I like the idea Im getting the DVD) Then one day when Steam has a sale on it. Ill reorder it again just to put it on my steam list.

I bought my first Telltale games on Steam, OCD begs me to keep them all on there.
I wonder if there will be pre-orders.
Or are you talking about adding non-Steam shortcuts to the Steam client?
I'd love to get the games on my Steam account (no, I don't mean adding shortcuts through Steam), but I'm not buying Telltale games through Steam ever again!
I'm a big fan of the monkey island and so bought the Tales of a Monkey Island and loved them ! I'm sure TT Games will make a great game out of Back to The Future but I would to know if we have any information on if they will release it (and prerealese it) through Steam.

Man I use steam since it came out =D I'm a big fan of valve games so I had no choice to get my CS1.6
I grew up watching these movies

Correct. Lol.
Bah! Oh well, that's fine. Telltale (along with old Cyan Worlds) is one of the few places I won't mind spending money twice.
Please make sure that the steam people won't get the game one second earlier!

How about hooking up with Steam to allow them to be registered, a la...

You won't be able to uninstall it or reinstall it through steam but it will be in the list.
