Buyable Through Steam

[seventhfrost]

Hey just curious if you guys have though much about making licenses for this purchasable through steam in some way, and what the thoughts were if you did in fact have them. I can't prove it but I'm sure there are plenty of people like myself that'd be more inclined to throw steambux we have lying around at a license than money we can spend on other things.

I figure the main thing stopping you is the fact that the easiest road to steam is a standalone version, and those can be pirated relatively easily, but I do wonder if there are any ways around that problem that are worth looking into.

 

Anyway, just a bit curious about the subject.

Making a standalone version is not going to happen, but making some kind of integration to Steam would be nice. I haven't really looked at what options there are yet, but will do it soon.

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't expect a standalone, for a bunch of reasons. I do hope there's something that could work out with steam though. One of the reasons I asked is because I'm not curious about what options might even exist, and I was wondering if you had looked into it to find any. When you do, I hope there's potential for something, as this site's concept and steam go together all too well.

I think the closest I can get to this is selling subscriptions through kinguin.net, where you can pay with skinwallet.

I see I see. A bit of a shame there's no way to do something like that by working with steam directly, but I can't say I'm too surprised. I have no idea how viable that is, or how worth it for you, since I imagine you'd only get a fraction of people going through with it compared to just steam. I'd assume a lot of your users are from csgo though, so who knows? if you do end up doing that, I'll try it out haha.
