      Why do you keep repeating this as if it was the only way? Look, it's good that you're willing to pay for the keys instead of demand them for free. But still, if Valve doesn't comply, saying "welp Valve doesn't want to!" isn't going to cut it. There are more possible solutions.

      Such as what I keep saying: let us wait until the game launches on Steam to get our Steam key, if we choose to. (just make sure this includes physical copies too)

      In that case, what's stopping YsNet, Deep Silver and you from just... doing that? We backers made the game possible in the first place, we'd appreciate not having to wait so much just to see what's going to happen with our game codes.

      Developers can’t automatically generate Steam keys. They must request them from Valve. The policy document says lots of stuff like:pic.twitter.com/5jwIFRLVQS

      So have Deep Silver tried requesting keys to fulfill Shenmue 3 crowdfunding rewards? We keep hearing the likes of "I think Valve wouldn't allow it" but it's curious that we haven't heard of it being tried.

      Yeah, this too. Why don't you just send the request for generating the keys? If they agree, great. If they refuse, then look at alternative options, such as letting backers get their key after the Steam launch instead of the regular launch date.

      Moreover if the request establishes a communication channel, THAT would be the ideal place to make the alleged offer of "paying 30% for keys", not a fire-and-forget email to a possibly unmonitored inbox.

      In all cases, the developers or publishers of the games have a direct relationship with Valve and discuss such matters. Epic isn’t and can’t be an intermediary in those relationships.

      I inquired about the overall policy as it affects a lot of crowdfunded games that will come to both stores. Developers and publishers discuss issues related to their products.

          This will only affect shitty publishers / devs that accept your exclusivity deal, normal crowdfunded games on both stores will not be affected by this

          Hey Mr. Sweeney I'm really surprised you're trying to find a solution for Shenmue even during the week-end, that's really nice. I hope everything turns out for the best.

          It seems that he was not asking about shenmue, nor trying to help them, he was asking steam if he could exploit their keys with his exclusivity contracts. He's rightfully so, invested in his business. Shenmue can burn to ashes, he wouldn't mind.

          I doubt Kickstarter games will be flocking to your store after all this mess. Give the consumers what they want! Your brand is beyond damaged by this asshatery Epic has been pushing. What indie dev wants to be associated with that??

          Indie devs that value more the short term cash injection than the most basic ethical values towards costumers, there are plenty out there. Shenmue 3 devs and Phoenix point are quick examples coming to mind. They'll exploit kickstarter for the 0% interest money.

          Nevertheless, your "partners"' previous requests are presumably how you learned about the alleged new Steam key policy. So if they can tell you, Deep Silver could tell you about their request for Steam keys for backers while you're claiming involvement in finding a solution.

          There is actually no need to ask things they should know / be able to check out, epic games is both a developer and publisher selling games on steam. Unreal and unreal tournament games are on steam.
