People should know that giving us a key for steam can be literally abused.
Frontier do have servers, but as of how the game is make right now, they have no idea who can use the key or not.
So what stop you from getting your steam key and give it to someone else ? And no, the login have nothing to do with it, Frontier can not make the difference between your account and a new one created.
I could just give my key to my friend, let him use an and create his own email to login, neither Frontier nor Steam can verify this key is specially activated for you.
You mention a long like of game from kickstarters, and this is exactly what happened, a lot of keys was handed out and there was not as much sale as planned from this.
The dev will eventually find a solution, but whining, complaining, and acting like 9 years old on a CoD argument won't change anything but give you a bad reputation and annoy the moderators who have to read all through your complains.
Steam will not change anything, there is no friend connect feature or anything but a DRM launcher, yet you can still create a shortcut. It only prevent you from writing reviews and nothing else, absolutely nothing but having to run steam instead of the frontier client directly. And maybe the useless data about how many hours you played that game.
As for the mention I read earlier about "I am punished, i have to use a no name knew as frontier rather that steam" not only you complain when there is still no final says ont he situation, but you also show no respect to the dev who work on this game that you seem to bash a lot. If you don't like it, then dammit we heard you, just leave now instead of trolling, because is nothing else, your complain won't make the dev want to give you a steam key.
I have to say, I am really disappointed by a lot of you in this topic, just say "I agree - I want one myself" or just disagree "this is a bad idea, you have my vote down", end of story. Make it easier for the staff to get a proper feedback and it save them time to go through your whole kindergarten blabling.
As for the choice to change their mind and go on steam, you have to remember that money doesn't grow on trees, and the more the dev have funds, the more they can devote time in new features, especially the one that will come in less than 3 weeks. Still updating with possible walk into your ship an on planet.
Yes a lot of idea from the kickstarter changed and then what ? That your own fault as you knew the risk of what an early access is. "game subject to change" remember that.
No happy with this choice ? how you make a proper civilized criticism like a proper adult.
That all folks, I am out.
