Why doesn't Matrix and Slitherine have the same sale at their online stores? Or, failing that, will it be possible to register the games purchased from Steam at Slitherine or Matrix?

Do you mean it will be possible to register the games we purchase from Steam at Slitherine or Matrix? If so, how do we go about registering the games we purchased from Steam on Matrix/Slitherine?

Greybriar, you can use a Matrix code on Steam of course, but there is currently no way to take a Steam game back to Matrix/Slitherine.

This code business has gotten a little ridiculous. There ought to be ONE code per game (or NONE at all) that all entities (Steam, Paradox, Matrix, Slitherine, Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, etc., etc., ad nauseum) use. That would certainly simplify things.

Some of the new releases have "Third Party Serials" key.
However the older games release on Steam do not have this and we cannot add this to the game once it has been released on Steam.
These 3rd party keys can be used for registering the game on the Matrix account, but can't be used for installing a stand alone version.

Yes you can, just enter your Steam CD-Key in the game registration box in the Matrix members area, but that will only register the game, no dowload from Matrix will be available as VPaulus states.

I bought Conflict of Heroes yesterday and did register here on Matrix, but that´s about it. I don´t see what benefit that gives one besides maybe support from Matrix.

The good part is that games on Steam auto-update and most game setup´s are compatible with current PC specs so no additional patching and/or tweaking to get them to work. In most cases that is

I noticed when I registered the games I purchased using my anniversary coupon last month that the Steam keys for the games that had them were available from the Slitherine but not the Matrix site. So you might check out Slitherine's site to get Steam keys, Red.

As much as I dislike Steam, I have to agree with Red when he wrote: "The good part is that games on Steam auto-update and most game setup´s are compatible with current PC specs so no additional patching and/or tweaking to get them to work. In most cases that is."

It's EA process was steam only and it was mentioned that once it was a full release a Matrix/ Slitherine version would be available to those that bought into Steam EA. Haven't anything about this since release.

If you purchase on Steam, there won't be any 3rd party serial number so you won't be able to register in your Slitherine/Matrix account

Correct, in my case, my recent Steam purchase "Conflict of Heroes" can be downloaded from the Slitherine members site. Thank you Greybriar, good to know the difference between sites!

Perhaps, the oldest game I play now is Panzer Corps. I just bought LocknLoad Stalingrad. Hopefully, I like it.

Yeah that would be nice, but nothing in the email box. No biggie, been playing WitP:AE right now vs. AI and see how well I go as Japan on grand campaign, this should keep me busy this year.

I keep eyeing Fortress Europa but I have WITW and that covers that theatre but I do like the look of it.

Status: offline 		Hi guys - obviously if there is a sale it would not be announced in advance so we wont have anything to say on that.

On 3rd party keys - sadly Steam have deprecated that system. We are no longer allowed to offer 3rd party keys when you buy on Steam so there are some recent releases that allow this but we're not allowed to do it going forwards.

Currently the only way to get the game on both sites is to buy from us them register your key on Steam. If in doubt, buy from us! :)

I normally do that, but it seems like the past couple of sales have been steam only though

We are not going to stop selling games direct - its an important part of what makes us different and allows us to sell boxed games (something which makes us unique!).
