King's Bounty on Steam?

[TheHourOfTheMice]

greetings, just posting to say that i'm having a fantastic time with this game (i bought fallout 3 and played it for 3 hrs before heading back to KBTL, which has somewhere around 20-30 hrs :p) and to ask if there might be any plans to have KBTL on steam?

i already have KBTL on dvd, but if the game comes out on steam, i will happily purchase it again so that i can play the game without having to keep the dvd in the drive. i understand there is a online downloaded version of KBTL through gamegate or something like that (i forget the exact name of the company), but i'd rather have KBTL with all my other steam games, especially seeing as how atari is a partner in the steam network or something (at least, i have some of atari's games on steam).

anyway, i'd seriously love to buy the game over again on steam, so if there are any plans for such, please let me know...thank you and thanks for the awesome game!

You may legally download the game from Direct2Drive.

If you're still having trouble with activation, you need to temporarily turn off your firewall. Also, I had a custom task manager (Microsoft Process Explorer) that I had to disable in order to run the game. It's that nasty SecuROM protection.

gamersgate.com (Paradox Interactive's digital download site) also sells Kings Bounty. They had the 1.6.4 patched version of King's Bounty up way before Direct2Drive or Atari did and they have patch 1.7.

I have no issues using them. You just need to download the game from their site and it does a quick activation while installing the game and you don't need to be connected online after that.

I just came here to say if this hits Steam I'll buy it but not until then, I only buy games on there so I don't have to deal with disks or different download services.

If it does come out on steam you wouldn't need to buy it again, just add it to your steam games list using the serial number you already have

I would also like to know if the games going to steam, so far no one local carries the game and I had mixed results with Direct2Drive re Patches and future support.
