Yeah, figured that out about 2 minutes after posting. Curse you, lack of edit function!
Thanks anyway Wayne.

Steam pre-order activations via magic key are supposed to be live next week, sometime.

Hmm, Steam isn’t recognizing my magic key. Has anyone else successfully unlocked it with their pre-order key?

I’m assuming they aren’t offering a pre-purchase option, as I can’t see it…

“World of Goo, the independent title from 2D BOY that swept top honors at this year’s Independent Games Festival, will make its North American PC debut on October 13, 2008 via Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games with over 15 million accounts worldwide.”

Does this mean it won’t be released in Europe? Oh please say I’m wrong!

It really is a great game, very fun, funny, and addictive. Even though I was one of the guys last month asking for a Steam option, I’m still glad I pre-ordered and finished it already. I’m looking forward to going back and grabbing those steam achievements.

Not sure how it’d translate to a gamepad-only control scheme, but I think the next logical step are XBLA (real achievements!) and PSN releases. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat, for both platforms, just to support the devs.

Aaaand I see that they’ve already stated that. This lack of editing is sort of a pain, lol.

Yes, I’ve emailed 2DBoy, they got back to me and said they’d check it out. Just thought I’d warn everyone before they find out on their own. :P

Pre-ordered. Love it. Their customer service was great when I had a little problem (of my own giving-them-the-wrong-email-address-creation) and really happy they are enabling me to link to Steam now.

This deserves huge success :)

I just wish I could get that e-mail with a code and download link from them soon =/ I noticed this week that the old hotmail account I foolishly had tied to my Paypal had expired (I hadn’t logged in for a month or so so MS deleted all my messages…). I e-mailed 2D Boy about it this Thursday, but I have yet to recieve a reply.

Dont think so, WoG has been in the Steam content registry thing-me-bob for a couple of weeks, the new game could well be NBA 2K9, which will bizarrely will have Steamworks integration.
