I may be out of the loop, but where is it?
heavensward has been on the list since IIRC the 20th of May, but pre-ordering it is a no-show.

Maybe this'll be a blessing in disguise and SE will be goaded into adding a standard PC key to the accounts of those who bought it on Steam so you can get away from that version and any future headaches that will likely pop up.

You could ask Valve on Steam forums about this.

06-01-2015, 04:46 AMParryacgI could, but I believe asking Squeenix would be a smarter choice.Quote:

What about now? I'm pretty sure it is already on steam, saw a post about it this week...

06-01-2015, 05:12 AMRiceisNiceThere's a page for Heavensward on steam, but no option to pre-order. All it says is that the game will "unlock on the 23rd".Quote:

06-01-2015, 06:36 AMRiceisNiceYes, but we can't pre-order on steam yet as of right now to get our pre-order code. Even though the projected date for pre orders was "sometime in may" and we haven't gotten anything after that.Quote:

I'm gonna wait until the 17th before I start to worry about this.

Ahaha
These steam threads
Dont worry they'll get to it eventually... Lol
Perhaps after the 19th?
Jk jk maybe. -
06-01-2015, 08:36 AMParryacgOh, I'm sorry, just because we didn't get it through Squeenix we should be lambasted by someone who did?Quote:

06-01-2015, 10:07 AMmirta000so we're the lesser client just because we bought our game from a different re-seller than you? o.OQuote:

06-01-2015, 10:09 AMkyuvenThey probably haven't given an update because there's no update to give.Quote:

even if they do it tomorrow, it's already June everywhere. So it should be obvious that at least an update is in order. -
06-01-2015, 10:36 AMkyuvenSomething tells me this might be on Valve's end.Quote:

At least, that's the logical scenario. -

they said something and haven't delivered. That's a bad practice. Whether it's a miscommunication in their offices, or between them and steam, it's not for the consumer to solve, but regardless the circumstances the consumer CAN complain as they were told information that has been proven to be untrue today and they have not received an update on that. -

Sure they can complain. But they are not exactly 'owed' a reply as they have not been charged for anything at this point. Steam and PSN are one of those distribution systems that while they help with exposure and generate them revenue it's not exactly a pain free happy union. Both take a chunk of sales. Valve most likely takes part of the sub fee since their version can be paid through steam. And if the in game micro transactions (mogstation) work like other games on steam they even get a cut of those. This is part of the problem of why steam clients/non steam clients can't mix. SE would incur a steam tax upon what was previously all theirs.
