Although the office is certainly up and running, it does take time to "reboot" after any off time plus it's mot unusual for some key personal to be away this week (key decision makers are often older, older people are more likely to have school age children and therefore be off during the Easter break on a family holiday).

Broadcasting, in-game friends list, voice chat, separate text chat outside the game. The list is long.
Not everything in Steam is bad you know.
Please , give us a Steam key devs !!!
I totally agree !
I totally agree !
If there was a small fee to transfer you FD key to a Steam key I could live with that.

My everyday use is also this : https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3629-RIAV-1617
Still rebooting?
how does official integration differ from adding non steam game to library? (other than the friends list syncing up)
It's 11pm! It's time to pray to the almighty Steam Deity!
Pray or Burn!
Pray or Burn!
Boot Error... Hit "Space" to reboot... Boot Error... Hit "Space" to reboot
Damn you, Boot Loop, damn you so much!
They're probably all rolling around on the floor laughing at the nonsense in this thread.
Lol, surely if ED has taught its players anything, its to be patient, wether cruising across a system, exploring or working a rare trade run, we should all be used to stuff taking time.
As a former game dev, let me tell you, addressing an issue like this is not something you want them to do with a quick seat of the pants decision. Things need considering to keep it all fair. How do they implement keys, should they even do so, and how do they approach those existing players that couldnt wait for a key and decided to buy one (eg do they refund purchases, give them an option for a refund or let them have 2 accounts if they prefer, etc.)
Then once the decisions have been fully discussed, weighed and made, they need to figure out the most effective way, and timescale, to present their decision to the player base in as non-flamatory way as possibly, as its a very volatile subject, as the huge number of posts here serves to demonstrate.
Be patient. Fdev arent stupid, they know the issue needs adressing one way or another, so lets give them the time they need to address it, as effectively and as well thought out and planned for as they can.
Personnally speaking, I really don't expect to hear anything before the newsletter on friday, where a broad spectrum newsletter blast would reach far more users than a quick forum post.

Too be fair.. they should have had the answer ready the min they released on STEAM.. what did they expect?
Adult behaviour?
Oh dont get me wrong, I agree they should probably have given more consideration to the issue and not released it on steam when and how they did.
A lot of naive/inexperienced publishers of online games like this tend to this kind of thing because they hope the issue will go away, and so never really plan for it. Im chosing to believe that a decision maker at FDev falls into this catagory and that theyre still learning the true nature of the beast that is online communities, even if other members of the dev team were desperately trying to get them to think about the existing players.
Its a moot point anyway, they'll address the issue as and when they want to. We either wait patiently for a response, tear each other apart on the boards whilst others sit and laugh at the spectacle, and we lose a number of good voices from the community because of bans, or a bunch of players start pushing for a boycott of the game that largely goes unnoticed, has no lasting effect and will eventually see them coming back tails between their legs and going back to trade runs and combat.
Better to be patient, imho.
I'll be patient................... But the general public is not so forgiving.......
I mean I want it on steam, I do for so many reasons. But I'm not gonna flip my cookies if they say no.
My cookies would be all over the floor from flipping......
The overlay works as does the screenshot thing using "add non steam game to library" function. I've had it like this since day 0 as I only have 1 monitor and it was easier and safer when travelling many times the speed of light to just use the steam browser for trade info than it was to alt/tab.
So that leaves, auto sync of friends and broadcasting/streaming that do not work without official integration.
If it does nerf the ability to use steam VR then I'll be disappointed with having to re-buy the game just for this.
