    Since Steam itself doesn't post on these forums, I don't think anyone has any idea what you're talking about.

    The people who ordered TOMI on steam know what I'm talking about.

    Why would you order it on Steam anyway when the TTG store obviously releases it first? I'm actually curious.

    Steam is pretty handy, and some people prefer to use as their main gaming platform when playing on PC so they can have all their games in the same place.

    TOMI was the first game of TTs i bought, and i thought it didn't matter where you bought it from, so it was a simple mistake. If i could do it over i would have bought from TT (Sorry guys)

    No problem. What matters is that you bought it and are enjoying it!

    Steam is handy for buying games and installing them... but when I buy something of steam and use it, I always use a shortcut on the desktop... I hate the interface by itself.

    I'm more of a "hold the shiny disc in your hand" type of gamer

    I'm not a fan of Steam, it's all good in theory, but if you're on a slow connection shared between two or three users like myself its constant want to update and crashing because it's waiting on data become a pain in the ass.

    One of my friends bought it on Steam because Telltale's servers went down from all the demand for the first episode. He didn't want to wait for them to come back up.

    I was one myself until they started with these ugly DVD-cases for games. I want my Boxes. They look great.
    Telltales games before WAllace & Grommit were released on steam after all episodes were released and it was great that way.
    Waiting for the W&G-Episodes was a pain and having to wait even longer because of steam knowing that people here are already playing was even worse.

    But I could track my playtime a lot easier.
    Now I have to make notes to know how long I played on these episodes.

    It's criminal that X-Fire doesn't support Telltale games and the few they do (W&G Ep. 1) has to be the Steam version
