They most likely are working on it.
Time will tell. Hopefully Ed or a higher up will come back and tell us first.

Thats a rather bold statement seeing as loads of companies actually use steam as a distribution system
I don't think there is much more to be told, but I would imagine once the key issues are resolved, they have the time to clarify further.
Safe travels Commander.
Thank you so much!
are "they" even aware there is a problem ? this thread has gone to the dogs !

Considering I just was able to claim my key i'd go with a solid, "yes."

Like I said, you'll have to wait and wait for the clarification on the clarification. I'm sure it will come when they're not so busy trying to fix the store and the key handling.
I'm just someone with more than 2100 games & 1600 DLCs owned on Steam, who has over the many, many years I've been there activated hundreds of Steam keys from developers... none of them ever claimed what Ed claimed in that clarification. So I have to assume he misunderstood something to give that reply. His original post is fully in accordance with what game devs always said, even if it's clearly not being understood like that by many of us... needs better wording! It's just that clarification that I think is wrong. We'll see!
No. They are not. They can't read....
/sarcasm off/
How do YOU think? Are they aware that their website was basically down for several hours?
I think they are but I know that sorting problems like that is not an easy task and may take more than 5 minutes....
thats awesome but what if we bought a second copy of elite for steam? rather than arefund could we be granted ability to redeem a key and create a second account? Because that kinda blows. But i do understand if you guys dont want to do that for people. thank you for giving people the steam keys.
What stopping you from connecting ED store account to DIFFERENT Steam account than the one that already has game in library?
worked, downloading now!
You're not the only one with a lot of Steam keys etc...and you know what they say about assumptions. The first post would also be in line with what he wrote. Most likely the language used has caused some people confusion.
It would be helpful to ask someone who bought the game on Steam and created an account from scratch.
I seem to remember that the FD store has a section in the "My Account" page that you can use to redeem a key and activate a product/game. Maybe Steam gives you one such key when you purchase the game from them? In your Steam Library, try right-clicking the game and see if it has a "CD Key" option.
If you bought a second copy of Elite just to have it in Steam, then that was definitely out of FDs control. Speak to Steam, see if they'll give you a refund or credit maybe.
I would have thought after registering it you would still have to enter your credentials to get into the game
