There are some differences between the Steam build and the TTG one. We are currently working our butts off to try and ensure that when everyone who bought the TTG version downloads it, the worst part of the experience was waiting for it to be available.
Well then there you go. They're working hard on it. They still have about a work day full of hours left to technically get it out without "false advertising" or any crap people are trying to claim.
Again, I'm having no problems with the STEAM version, so it's worth checking out if you're that impatient
C'mon guys, waiting for the episode to release at the last minute of the deadline is part of the Telltale experience! It makes the anticipation and the games more exciting!
it doesn't matter if it is 24 april ...what matters is that http://store.steampowered.com/app/207610/ has it and the official site doesn't have it posted. .....that needs to be explained ! Period

not when its already been released on steam, I think that is whats pissing a lot of people off (including me:mad:)

...It was explained. By a TTG dev. Half an hour ago.
No, the TTG version and the Steam version are separate entities. They had to finish the Steam version (which had to be done by 1 EST) first, and are now finishing this version (which just has to be done by midnight) This is decidedly abnormal though, normally we get the game first by several hours.
Meh. I'm done with complaining for now... this is stupid. Thanks to whomever enlightened me to Project Zomboid. I'm gonna go play that.
Just looked it up, saw "zombies", "co-op", and "$8" And now here I am installing Desura.. what just happened?
Though when I get the email, I'm playing this game instantly. Tonight is all zombies. Catching my dad up on episodes 205 to 207, Project Zomboid, and with any luck The Walking Dead at some point.
You won't be missed. Constructive criticism is one thing, but if all you are going to do is flame and whine and complain, the telltale community can do without you.
When a company says on it's website the night before the game comes out that it'll come out the next day, so preorder now... then I expect they will keep their word. It doesn't make me scum to hold people accountable for what they say. If the game is out on steam already, then this is a huge error on TT's part. To ignore that makes you ignorant. Maybe you like businesses to treat you like you don't matter, but I don't and I won't be giving them anymore money.
That comment alone, makes you what you are calling others.
The bottom line is it should have been released here first. It was a bad decision on their part to release it elsewhere and it's basically telling their customers not to rely on them directly. They shouldn't want people going through others and getting a small cut, it's just not smart business and it's insulting people who wanted to support them.(Myself included.) If Steam is more reliable, then I'll buy from Steam from now on. The updates are nice, but it doesn't change the fact they've let a good portion of people who preordered and some that haven't down. Is there still time left? Yes, but their office hours are closing soon more than likely and I doubt they're getting paid overtime. The game won't be out until tomorrow at the latest, probably close to the end of the day then.
does anyone know if it would be possible to use the tt key and activate the game on steam?
I'm rather annoyed that I payed for my copy back in march on TT but still don't have it, when my friends who payed a few days ago on steam are playing it right now...
Does anyone know when TT is actually going to let people play their copies?
This is aggravating.
I only got it on TT because I wanted it sooner.. and thought that I would be able to activate it on steam... god damn I must have been a derp that day

am not in rage am just not happy how tell tale handled it ....a communique would have been nice ....something ...anyways i don't except it to see it tonight
Instead of wasting a very long day of multiple developers/testers/webadmin they should give everyone steam keys and release them all on Steam and not worry about 2 builds. Only reason I bought it on here was Steam didn't have the nearly complete package option including the other games at the discounted price. I'd just assume get extra features like overlay and achievements Steam offers.

I'm not overly mad nor will I badmouth Telltale, in the end they are doing their part to deliver me a steak on a plate cooked the way it should be and not serving it hoping I don't mind a sub par steak. I'm just genuinely disappointed with the gaming industry as a whole for what's becoming a normal practice of not delivering games ready on time or to perform as meant to be on their release day. It should have had enough of an effect on the industry by now that all developers wouldn't dare put a release date on something until they have had more of a guarantee of being ready for that said day. It tarnishes the product in the consumers eyes no matter how well the product may deliver when it finally arrives. You couldn't tell me any different. I've got a degree in Advertising and have been working in the advertising industry for almost 20 years.
Ok Telltalers. I'm being pretty patient(well in comparison), but can you guys explain what exactly went wrong here to where the steam version is out and the telltale version isn't? I know it happened with Poker Night as well, but I don't think by this long...

Hopefully, the game will be up after Chem class tonight. I'll just keep this tabbed on my lappy just in case.

Are you people daft? STEAM RELEASED THE GAME.....not Telltale......get it through your heads that unless they held the Steam build back they had no control over this. Steam has to have time with the build to get it working with Steam. Steam released the game early go whine to them not telltale.
I'd actually be really surprised if it didn't come out sometime tonight. They're often very close to their announced deadline time, but I haven't seen them miss it completely yet (aside from ToMI ep 5, but they announced the delay for that weeks in advance).
Just looked it up, saw "zombies", "co-op", and "$8" And now here I am installing Desura.. what just happened?
Though when I get the email, I'm playing this game instantly. Tonight is all zombies. Catching my dad up on episodes 205 to 207, Project Zomboid, and with any luck The Walking Dead at some point.
Yeah I just got it a couple days ago too.
Pretty awesome already, gonna be amazing when finished. you dont need the desura client tho. I hate clients, just like Steam

One was already given.
Check the previous page, we got one 15 minutes ago.
EDIT: Ack! Ninja'd!

Like has been said there was one. But that's the problem when it's a busy thread, it's so easy for one post to get lost amongst the chaff.
Totally Agree:mad:

not when its already been released on steam, I think that is whats pissing a lot of people off (including me:mad:)
...It was explained. By a TTG dev. Half an hour ago.
Pfft. Those Steam buyers don't get the Real Telltale Experience when they're just given the game straight away. No adrenaline rush at all.
so basically steam is 1st class and we are 2nd ?
They are two different builds. A lot can go wrong between the builds. One is built for the STEAM overlay, etc, etc, one isn't.
The TTG build had something wrong with it they felt they should address before releasing. Hence the delay.
...and frankly my dear, we don't give a damn.
First and last purchase.
No, the TTG version and the Steam version are separate entities. They had to finish the Steam version (which had to be done by 1 EST) first, and are now finishing this version (which just has to be done by midnight) This is decidedly abnormal though, normally we get the game first by several hours.

Might I suggest heading to your friend's house?
yes sir
i sowwy
You've got a chance at being in the game...... but what good is it if the game is relaesed everywhere else, and you can't play yet...lol
HAHAHAHAAA!! That's so awesome!
Hopefully, the game will be up after Chem class tonight. I'll just keep this tabbed on my lappy just in case.
