Hi! Welcome to the forums.

The short answer to your question is... not yet. Valve has told us that they will be honoring the code you already have, it's just a matter of when. In the past, they've taken as long as three weeks, this time it might be more, it might be less. But when they to start, you can use the key you already have!

If you bought it directly from us, e-mail me at [email protected] and let me know the name and e-mail address you used to place the order and I'll get the key for you.

Yep, and I sent the reply. You should be good to go.

For anyone else who sees this and might have a similar issue, feel free to do the same. :)

Listen.. I love y'all and everything you do, but i'm a bit annoyed at not having my key being redeemed on Steam. There are a lot of Steam functions I like to use and achievements as well. I know a lot of gamers aren't into that, but I enjoy it.

Can you please give us a better time frame?

I'd love to, but, I simply can't. It's really not up to us, the decision is entirely Valve's. Sorry.

Do I have to request for a steam key if I purchase from gamersgate? The key doesn't look like typical steam key.
Also the will I be able to preserve the save game/world from my current copy?

Steam says my key is not valid. :( I won the key in that Moddb giveaway along with Tidalis a while back and copy+Pasted it into Steam, I even tried with no dashes and no spaces at all and it still tells me that Steam is invalid. It doesn't look anything like what Steam says Keys should look like, is this one special? The Tidalis Key I won works fine.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

Please read the second post in this thread.  It should adequately answer your query.
