Before paying up, keep in mind the bait-and-switch played on people with version one. Anyone without a Steam account is stuck with an old version when it required a Steam account after launch.
- lifthrasiir 2y agoUnfortunate but not exactly deceptive, because the developer did provide a free Steam key for whoever bought the game in other platforms. I for example got one from my initial itch.io purchase. I did have been told that such requests were rare enough due to the low sales on other platforms IIRC, which is probably why it's no longer available elsewhere.
- proactivesvcs 2y agoI wasn't made aware that I'd eventually be required to use a third-party store to use what I paid for. Since I don't use steam I no longer have what I paid for.
- lifthrasiir 2y agoI think the exact version of shapez.io you and I bought elsewhere never went away, only the future versions would be available in Steam, so while you may feel like it you should be able to play the game itself.
- solardev 2y agoI bought shapez 1 off Steam, from the dev directly, and got both the offline key and a Steam key. What's wrong with that?

- proactivesvcs 2y agoI brought the game directly and was able to play and receive updates. I can no longer do this because I do not use steam.
- Suppafly 2y agoReach out to the dev and I'm pretty sure they'll send you a steam key like they've done for other people.
