Transfer account to Steam

Caspid · #1 12-25-2010, 07:23 PM

Is it possible to transfer my account to Steam? I'd rather have it tied to my Steam account than play through the standalone client. Even though it's only $2.50 on Steam today, I'd rather not have to purchase another copy.

Thanks!

$2.50?!?!?!?!?!?!?! *buys extra account* Umm...I think this has come up beofre, and I don't think it's possible to transfer your account. If I'm right, I'm srry. If I'm wrong, I'll go hide in a hole.

Oh, if that's true that's a shame

I mean, wouldn't it be as simple as generating a Steam registration code?

Open Steam
Click on the Games Tab
Add a non-steam game to library
Select altitude
Altitude now appears in your steam game library

You see, that just creates a shortcut to the exe, and it's not quite the same as having it registered with Steam - it's not actually tied to your Steam account, it doesn't track statistics to your Steam profile, etc.
