Damn I automatically assumed I would get a steam key when I bought from GMG.

Its my fault but usually in the past, telltale or gmg automatically gave steam codes for their games. I bought the game for $19 instead of $25 but if I had known I would have bought it for steam even for extra money.

    I did this exact thing, too. GMG has always given a Steam key in the past and I had no reason to assume it would be any different this time.

    Disappointed. =/

    Really guys? I purchased Season 1 from GMG and they gave me steam key to activate it.

    The first season does indeed come with a Steam key (and no Telltale activation key) when purchased from GMG, but as stated very clearly on the product page for the second season, "This game is delivered as a Telltale Games redemption code. Customers will require a free Telltale Games account to play."

    I just bought on GMG after reading this. So I did the redemption on Telltale, and was expecting a steam key after that, but dont see where that is at?

    There is currently no way to get both a Steam and a Telltale key. As posted above, according to GMG's product pages, they give you a Steam key for buying the first season (and / or 400 Days) from them and a Telltale redemption code for the second season.

    I also just picked up this deal from GMG. My only concern is save game information being carried over from my Season 1 playthrough on my Steam account. Will I have to move my save file to another directory when Season 2 is installed or do we know yet?

    It won't be a problem.

    As Telltale's MattP posted elsewhere, "The Steam and Telltale PC version use the same directory for saves, so however you play on PC, your saves should be available."

    Excellent! Thank you for digging up this info for me, I'm greatly relieved.
