King's Bounty: Crossworlds on Steam with pre-purchase?

[Dwagginz]

I went and prepurchased it, too. Not bothered about the free copy of The Legend (I have the retail edition). Very surprised about the cheap price, though. £7 is a steal!

Edit: I can also confirm it's unlocked (for some reason) and playable.

I wonder if 1C will change the release date on other platform too. STEAM does a good job for players, but I don't think it's good for the whole market.

I've got this as a gift today. But, contrary to some opinions, I can't gift The Legend to someone else despite having KBTL already purchased and installed. So, in this case the second copy of KBTL is wasted.

As a note, the editor is located in the TOOLS tab of Steam, and it requests more space than I have on my disc to install (after installing Crossworlds) - over 10 GBytes

That's odd. Does it not appear in Games > Manage Gifts and Game Passes?

Nuh-uh. Well, it is, but it isn't. If you go into the KBAP directory, it's there.

Thanks, it does. Seems I don't know how to gift games, because I've found many unclaimed and unsent items there. All purchased after UI update (before the update every item to gift was shown in the main list, AFAIR)

OK. So what would be installed if you choose to install that editor from TOOLS tab? I mean, it's much bigger than the Crossworlds itself, so I wonder why the big space requirements.

I have absolutely no idea. I wonder if the 1C guys know.

I'd just like to confirm that they have corrected the price and the game isn't playable anymore through Steam. So you the guys who bought it from Gamersgate can breathe easy again

It was a classic case of Steam error. Happens way to often but I don't mind.

It's still playable in offline mode

Yeah, it prompts to purchase game again, instead of play. Funny (You played the game 2 hours, now go buy it) but not unusual.

I bought the game for $9.99US, started downloading and went out shopping. Got back 1.5 hours later, game was all downloaded. Went to play and go directly to the buy screen and now it's $19.99US. Must have just made the deadline, sort of Got the good price, but can't play.
