If it's the same price the Origin key was I will likely snap up the KoA Steam key.

Yes, I didn't buy it just because it was an Origin key.

WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US TONY

Dude I'm so sorry mister Romero, I just got slammed. I'll be around more often though.

ExtrudeAlongCurve posted:

Is one of the clarifying questions whether those of us who jumped on the Origin deal can get Steam keys? *Fingers crossed!*

I mean, I assume that's not likely but a gamer can hope.

I don't have any info around this but I do have a couple proposals around what to do for those that purchased the Origin version and want the Steam version.

I have nothing confirmed yet but am working on it.

My proposal is that we run a few deals on the product as soon as we get it up.

Hey guys,

This is for those who live in or around Seattle. On Monday at 4PM we'll have Major Nelson on site hanging out and playing Halo 4, he's also going to bring 5 copies of Halo 4 and 5 12 month subscriptions to xbox live gold. We're inviting 5 customers to come hang out, get free stuff, and go to dinner/happy hour afterwards with The Major and the team. If you're interested let me know, we have 4 slots left. Please don't claim a spot if you can't come as it will take up a spot someone else could have used.

First 4 replies get spots, if I don't hear back in a couple of hours I'm going to post this in a Subreddit as well.

I'm a jerk and there is an open spot now if you're still interested, I totally mis-read someone's confirmation as "I'm coming" when in reality it was "I'm sad I'm not coming".
