Looks like it has worked for six people now. I don't have any word from steam yet, so I don't know if they are 100% done yet, but this is definitely movement forward at the very least!

I'll try when I get home. This is good news!

EDIT: Do alternate planet lists still work?

Yes, so far as I know.

Excellent, that is great news.  By the way, Echo, that was fun on Left 4 Dead the other evening.  That was my wife's and my first play of the game, though, so we were still just getting used to the game at all.  Then her copy of it locked up in the sewer section, and that's why dropped out (updated graphics card driver fixed that).

I was wondering, why don't more games do this? Is there some cost involved for you, the developer, allowing cross-platform key recognition?

No, there's no cost to me.  I basically gave the full list of potential and in-use license keys to Steam, and they put it through some process that resulted in them being recognized.  I don't think that this was cost-free just because we were indie, either.  My guess is that the larger companies simply don't give a flip, to be honest.  :(

They don't give a flip about the quality of their games or customer support either.
