just bougth the game, what's this unlock thing?

edited July 2012 in The Walking Dead
Just bought the game through steam and now, when launched, I get a popup that reads: To unlock your game, log in with your TellTale user name (or e-mail address) and password. For help visit www.telltalegames.com/support.

So, I come here and created a user name and password thinking this is just a marketing catch or a progress tracker, but no, you want me to buy the game again?!!!

Can someone post a sticky for this? I'm confused.

**NOTE - There was no serial number popup when I launched the game to paste in this unlock crap window as suggested in the telltale support page. what is this a double charge?!!!!!

TellTale, tell me how to make the game start or give me a refund!!!!

    Rightclick the game from your library -> View game CD key.

    when i bought it on steam, i got no popups or serial code, the game just worked, could be a steam problem?

    there is no "view cd key" like some of my other game (I looked for this already) on the list, just the normal play game ~through~ properties.. leme restart steam.

    Well it's obviously on your end, I have never experienced that neither have I heard or read about it.
    Post a screenshot of the exact errormessage you get please.
