Last winter I pre-ordered that Mercenary Edition pack for Elite: Dangerous through Frontier’s online store. While I enjoyed playing the space sim at the time, I haven’t played it much since then because a) other games and b) I’ve been waiting for the devs to make good on their promise to deliver Steam keys to people who have already purchased the client.
Don’t ask me why, but I like playing games through Steam even when they don’t require it. It’s a sickness.
Anyway, today Frontier announced that E:D owners can claim a free Steam key via their Frontier account page. The only catch is that as of this writing, the store is still loading very sloooooowly, so good luck with that.
