Hi guys

First of all, congratulations on:
- finishing the game
- keeping things on a grid ;)
- allowing other purchase options than Steam (wouldn`t buy otherwise)

I`m about to preorder from your site, just a couple of questions:

-I understand this is totally DRM-free, install-where-and-when I want kinda thingy?
-Is this standalone installer from you only available as a preorder? Will it be available in the same form later on as well?

Thanks!

If you buy it directly from the site, you get a steam key now AND a standalone installer in april 11.

There's been no indication of any of the purchase options disappearing later on. The price will go up, though.

Yes the standalone is "DRM free" and it will still be available after preorders are done.

Ok - thanks for replying, grabbing it on Mon - have to put some money on my other CC, just learned my mickey-mouse Laser Card doesn`t work online :/

Once again: really appreciate your attitude in general and especially regarding "piracy". Believe me - I was once a bad boy (well, like everyone at the time in Poland :), but times and circumstances change, and now I`m a punter. You`ll win lot of respect - and customers - this way.

So you can pick whichever flavor you want. The steam version includes achievements, but other than that, there shouldnt be any difference.

Hi i already payed for the game using paypal. I received steam key. How do i get the standalone app? U will send it to me? Or i download it from your site? If i want to use the steam key - how does it work? I download the game for free using steam and during the installation process I enter the key? Thanks for explanation but i dont have much experience buying games on internet.

>How do i get the standalone app?
It will be in the same site as where you got the steam key, on april 11.
>If i want to use the steam key - how does it work?
Activate steam, and then from the toolbar, pick games->Activate a product on steam ->enter the steam key in the window where they ask you to. After that, you'll be done- once april 11th comes, you'll be able to download it in steam without a hassle.

Hope this helps!

Hi.
I've preordered LoG directly from Almost Human. If I redeem my Steam key now,
will I still be able to download the standalone version when the game is released, or do I have to decide between the two?
