How can I both sell my game DRM-free and give customers a Steam key when they purchase it?
Game Key Package → DRM Info → Select only the DRM-free Key option. Then upload your Steam keys in Keys and Distributives. Then upload the launcher you’ll be using as the distributive in Distributive Upload.
When a customer purchases a title, they’ll receive a link to download the launcher and both a DRM-free game key and a Steam key. The customer can redeem the DRM-free key in the launcher for this early access version of the game. Once a title’s been released, the customer can them redeem their Steam key for the Steam version of the game. Remember you’ll need to request a custom email telling customers the key is usable on Steam.
No, this sentence is a bit wrong. When game developer setup DRM Free key, he can additionally setup a steam key. In this case player will receive Steam key as a gift. The typical use case looks like:
- Game developer initiate a preorders or early access for his game
- User buy game on developers website.
- User receive both DRM Free and Steam keys
- User redeem DRM Free key in launcher and use this version of a game During CBT or early access
- Once games officially released user can redeem his Steam key to have access to steam version.
This use case implemented by our partner Game Labs.
