The Steam key is a definite good move by TT while we wait for the official release on the site. Kudos, TT - you really didn't have to do it but I appreciate it.
Another update: we're probably not going to get our server issue fixed tonight. However, we're working right now to get Steam codes mailed out to any of you that pre-ordered the game through us. They'll be going out ASAP, so keep an eye on your email!
Again, we profusely apologize for the delay and any frustration this may have caused. We appreciate your patience, and your passion for the game.
So... when Episode 2 comes out..... will our save files from the Steam version work to continue our story???? Since they're probably in different folders????
Oh, also, I think we should all get the Almost Everything pack for free as compensation. That way I can play a game that works while I wait
I think its for the full season, so we are good there.

So... this compensation of the Steam codes is amazing to you.... provided that TT and everyone else is saying it is a buggy version...basically TT saying 'Go ahead and get that crappy version for free on Us!"
Whoopty frickin do.
Not sure that the version is really that buggy or crappy just yet. People will only post if they have an extreme point of view. "Response Bias" being the technical term.
Also yeah, they could have just flipped us off.
Next time though, release it the midnight before or the morning of the release date please!
I appreciate y'all sending us Steam codes, but please tell me where to go and how to use them. This is honestly the first game I've ever bought online, so I'd really appreciate some dumbed-down instructions. Thanks!!
The instructions will be in the email with the Steam key.
I'm more than happy to wait a few days, and would prefer to download from your website. For those of us who pre-ordered, will these "steam keys" affect us?
Just got an e-mail from telltale with a steam key. I guess they're giving up on getting the proprietary version out by the end of the day. Still, decent consolation prize.

The Steam keys just let you download the game from the Steam client if you want to play it today. If you don't mind waiting, you'll still be able to download the game from your My Telltale games list once it's out.

Yes, they are still having issues with the server, but hope to have it back up soon. Enjoy the game.

To me the whole thing is a flip off...BS Steam codes included.
You want to compensate me?
Then give me the game I bought and Ill DL it onto my Mac...and then give me a free copy/version and Ill DL it onto my iPad. Then I may feel a bit compensated.
I feel the same way. Fish out of water. All you had to do was blow on Nintendo cartage's when they didnt work right. I have no idea what the code is or what to do with it.
Haha yeah my thoughts exactly!! I just really got hooked on TWD from the start (of the Tv show at least) and haven't missed a day since. Even read the comics, so I decided to take a leap of faith with this.
If nothing else, it'll hold me over until October when the show starts up again!!

Still waiting for something...
I'm honestly saddened by this whole experience. The only Tell Tale games I've played before are the Monkey Island ones. And it's been a long time since I've played those. So I preordered Walking Dead just because I've heard good things about some of Tell Tales latest games (ie. Back to the Future). Im not trying to whine or be childish, but it's almost 9:30 here. I really want to play this game before I crash (up at 5am for work). I highly doubt after this that I'll purchase another game from them. Can't download it, and still have no Steam key. Huge disappointment.

From what I've seen, most issues can be worked around, if they even present themselves.
Regardless, I'll move on to actually playing the game while the rest of you cry over what has obviously been an unfortunate situation, but has been temporarily resolved with free Steam keys. Too bad some people just like to complain about everything.
I apologize as well for overreacting. As many of you rightly surmised, I am not a PR person. I probably shouldn't be reading through the forums at all, but I was stoked to release the game today and am horribly disappointed that it hasn't been a smooth process.
Again, I'm very sorry about everything and hope that we can make things right.
Hey Crofael,
You seem to be a nice guy. And where you are, it's quite late now, so you might be a bit tired. Please don't take the flaming here personal. It's nice that you try to keep us informed.
And actually it shouldn't be the end of the world, if the release would be delayed for a day or so. But it's of course not very nice either.
However, I do not agree with how TTG is handeling the release:
1. Why didn't they test ALL processes before? Including the upload...
2. Why is there no official statement from the higher ups? Are they already at home?
3. Why do other platforms release the game, before TTG?
4. If the game is buggy, why setting such an early release day?
5. Why don't the pre-order people get the game 1 day ahead anymore?
Don't worry, I still like TTG, but you could do better

Just got my Steam key! Thanks bunches, Mike!
I think its for the full season, so we are good there.
thanks anyways but am not happy with the service provided
Telltale said it themselves genius! Just need to be able to read not ask a medium. Try learning to....and maybe some retention as well.
Where's that Fry picture? I see what you did there.

Banks don't do partial chargebacks

Da Fauqe?
That's not good enough. Is there a way to transfer save files from Steam to TTG version for season 2 or not?
Yes, they are still having issues with the server, but hope to have it back up soon. Enjoy the game.

I still want to eat some interns though.

@AtleeUlver: Thanks
The Steam keys are being emailed with instructions for those unfamiliar with Steam.
You're welcome.

Already got my Steam key and started downloading.
