It's looking like we'll be good to go on getting interested Telltale customers the TF2 unlocks for sure. It won't be instant because our site really isn't set up yet to distribute them, but yeah. Feel free to buy from the TTG site and rest assured you'll get a Max head to wear on top of your regular head in TF2
I don't really care about hats in TF2. I really like the game but something in it's past really just made me quit it. I think it was the way Valve treated players for using the idler-program.
I played it shortly on Helloween for the achievements but there was really no more love for the game. And then there was the Soldier/Demo update. I don't like these classes at all and only the thought of a server with 10-15 of those made me abandon the game until now.
PS: I wonder how many people bought the game only for those items. There is at least one on the steam forum. Maybe there is a way to sell these without the whole season.
We should get at least 1 or 2 items for owning the previous 2 Seasons. This whole thing makes me sad because I can't buy Sam and Max until May. I play TF2 a lot, and just hope that I can get these items.
Too true. I don't play really play Spy at all, I'd much prefer to have it as a multiclass thing. It'd be nice for me as Soldier, especially after the Equalizer nerf.
It's pretty common. The Steam forums are internet-renowned for being the biggest bunch of whining idiots ever. They complain about EVERYTHING.
Very well-put. As much as I love TF2, its community is way too narcissistic. If Valve changes ANYTHING in the game, everyone goes up-in-arms, as if Valve came to their [parents'] houses and punched their mom in the face.

The upside is, Valve is aware of this and trolls them at every opportunity.

Just see it as love for the game, they're scared of change in case there game gets ruined. I suppose it's flattering to Valve in a way
The game got ruined the moment random drops stepped through the door.
Was that not to stop people achievement farming? I didn't have the game before the random drops. All I know is that it's annoying when I go into a server and try to cap a point only to get shouted at because everyone's trying to unlock achievements instead.
Hey Telltale game forums, I'm happy for ya, and I'mma gonna let you finish, but...
These items WERE meant to be a bonus for those loyal Sam and Max fans who are also loyal to Steam. Buying it from Steam meant that we, by which I mean me, passed up on the offer of access to the private forum, as well as a free game from Telltale (getting an episode from season 2 of Sam and Max was pointless since I already had all the episodes).
I guess what I'm getting at is, if all the TF2 fans who preordered the game here are going to get the Steam only benefits, when can those of us who preordered from Steam expect to get the Telltale benefits? Even access to the private forum would be nice enough.

Steam take a cut of the money though, so Telltale can offer us more stuff if we buy direct.
EDIT: Also there was a big brouhaha about the Private Forum and Steam users, I dunno the specifics but in the start Steam customers were supposed to get access I think

I did follow that for a while, but I've not received any e-mails. Were Steam people able to get it? If they did then ignore my post, if not, then *shakes fist angrily*

I think that part of the problem is that the TF2 items were only announced after the game came out, which means that anyone who pre-ordered the game weren't even able to made an informed decision regarding what bonus they preferred, so it feels a bit like being punished for buying at the wrong place.

While that's understandable, at the same time many people pre-ordered The Devil's Playhouse on Steam at the time when it said we would get access to the forum, and then that little tidbit mysteriously disappeared.
Either way you still did get bonuses for being loyal to Telltale, which is commendable, but now you're also going to get the bonus the people loyal to Steam got, which in my eyes is really just plain greedy.

Was that Valve though... or TTG? We still don't know. Which of the 2 devs gave you the finger? Precious Valve? Or precious TTG? They both looked so innocent...

Aren't you greedy for not wanting to share the hat with us?

I dunno, I think it was pretty clear from the start that Steam users wouldn't get the same bonuses that people buying straight from Telltale got. Of course, in a perfect world you'd be able to get them anyway.
The way I see it, everyone who bought the game should ideally get the same benefits, no matter where they got it from. Sadly, that isn't exactly practical- although I'm sure that if it was Telltale would gladly take advantage of it. To me it seems greedy to say "well I wasn't able to get bonuses so you guys shouldn't either."

Bah. Steam is just a store, like Wal-Mart or Target or GameStop. It's generally considered annoying when retailers get a bunch of separate pre-order bonuses.
Anyway, the bonuses are just that. Bonuses. You obviously think, for some reason that I can't possibly comprehend, that the Steam version is worth just as much as the direct Telltale release. Your bonus is getting to live by your odd zealotry.

Awesome!!
I will wait until the Engie-Update before I touch TF2-again. The last time I played was after the Sniper/Spy update.
You have got a LOT to catch up on. Namely hats.

In other news, as a Telltale customer, not a Steam customer, the news that I can still get the items has piqued my interest.
And I can confirm that the texture files for Sam's hat are there. Hmmmmmm.
Also, Yare and Jake deserve something nice from the community.
At first i was all ":D" then when it was for Steam pre-order's only I was all ":(" but then you guys said you were working on it and now i'm all ":)"

Because it's not the Engineer update. Of course, they'd probably rage that the Engineer update isn't the Engineer update.

Gotta love game developers with a sense of humor.

Nope but we will let you know.
Cuz I want them.
