What is the price + must I use steam?

[Jaek]

I have a steam account with UT2k4 and UT3 and I took the serials from the games after installing them and removed steam. Is it possible to also do this with the new KF as I don't want steam running on my machine.

Will it be possible to get a discount if I buy 5 copies (for some of my team mates)? Also is it possible to buy some copies/serials before it comes out that way I dont' forget it exists and forget to buy it altogether?


Just in case someone may be able to answer this: on the splash screen of the UT2k4 version, there are some coloured pixels forming a verticle line on the right of the splash screen. Is that an error or is it an encoded version number or some sort of secret hax0r message?

The game will be tied to steam. No cd-key, tied to your account as the game will use many Steamworks features for the Perks systems and more.

As far as pricing we have not yet released any information on that, but I am sure we will soon.

Will there be a pre-order?
If so, will there be a preload prior release?

 

[Yoshiro]

I'm not sure but most likely yes to both.

Will there be something "special" for the KF oldies?
Would be kinda cool ^^. Just a gimmicky thing tho, nothing that gives an advantage. Maybe an unlockable skin.

Would be cool to get 3 copies for $55 or something to send to gift. Then you're figuring getting 3 for what one game usually costs.

I went to log into steam and my account didn't exit anymore (shakes fist at steam). I have to wait for them to reply my emails. What is the world coming to when gaming networks are run by noobs...

They recreated my account and put my games back in. When I went to buy KF the form said I couldn't because 'blah blah country blah blah nor yours.'

I sent the support a picture of a cat (the one that says "It's dangerous to go alone! take this.") and then they fixed my account. I guess my current IP address beingdifferent that the one I bought stuff from initially was a red flag to halt future purchases. Whodathunkit.
