Steam Key with Purchase from Frontier Store

[joeybolufe]

I saw in another thread that people who ordered through the frontier store will get a steam key if/when the game eventually launches on Steam. I just want to get a confirmation from a Frontier dev that this is indeed the case. I don't wanna pay $75, and then pay another full price when the game launches on Steam. Some people may not care about steam but I am really invested in that community and prefer to play my games from Steam.

Thank you![up]

Since I own Elite Dangerous, it should be like Planet Coaster Client, you should get in-house key to Game Client it's self maybe correct me if I wrong, kinda like Elite Dangerous system. Expect where going have Planet World Theme Client.

It seams like So Far Yes. You get, Early-Bird for first 6+ months then Full Release.

Other Notes:
Will Planet Coaster be available on Steam? We haven't talked with Valve about Planet Coaster, but if we do release the game on Steam we would hope to offer the option of a Steam key to our existing players.

Why would you have to pay twice for the same game? At least frontier doesn't work like this.

The reason I made another thread is becasue my question is not whether the game will release on Steam, but if it does, will people who ordered through Frontier receive a key. That post by Angelis seemed like something that was not official, however in the link by Zerobyte, it does seem official since it is in their Support FAQ's.

No worries Joey. I figured you had seen that thread but I guess our definition of "official" is different. [hehe]

What is steam?

What is steam?

It is basically a place where different games are hosted and managed and you can download them and connect to other player and friends from there.

This is a screenshot of a public answer made by someone at Frontier, using the official youtube account, and during the LiveStream #2 ...

So, yes, it's official !

I'm going to go ahead and close this topic seeing as the OP has their answer and we already have a sizeable discussion topic on Steam here.
