tales of monkey island $4.99 on STEAM?

edited September 2010 in Tales of Monkey Island
hey guys, i thought this was only put up on telltale's website today. But then i saw the deal on gamersgate too, but why not steam? is it due to lucasarts' monkey island special editions over the weekends?

i'm hoping you'll update the price on steam so..i could buy it :)

thanks!

    I'm afraid Steam prices are set by their own staff, not by Telltale. The HUGE discount only applies on Telltale Store. Oh, and, GamersGate, I guess o_ô

    Plus... If you buy it from Telltale store, you can claim your ToMI DVD just for the price of shipping. I think it has more of an advantage, really.

    thats weird..i don't think steam could set their own prices. This would mean the developers are not getting what they agreed for when they put their products on steam.

    thats too bad, i was hoping it was on steam instead since im not a fan of physical media

    Uhm, you don't HAVE to get the physical media. Telltale games are downloadables right here on this site, if you choose to buy.

    forgot to mention that i want it tied to my steam account :)

    thats the prob with digital stuff, they should all link together instead. Let's say if i buy from telltale, i could link it to steam or gamersgate etc

    hopefully this would be the future

    I launch all games from my Steam application. Not exactly the same as loading directly from Steam but good enough for me. The only things I don't get are direct links to the forums and store page and the nice icon graphic.
