Makes me really regret having supported SQUAD in the beginning. Another funny thing, running a website and providing free bandwidth to download files, plus paying someone to develop, maintain, and support that web site costs money which makes Steam an attractive option for developers. It's not like someone from Valve came down to Squad headquarters and threatened them with "it'd sure be a shame if your kneecaps were knocked out and hit your server" or anything. If you buy directly from a farmer you give them more money than they get selling to a grocery chain. You also have to go out of your way, rarely get a discount (except at end of season when they'll throw the stuff out anyway) and they have to put a bunch of work into selling to you. It's why grocery stores exist, and Steam is no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4qFBxkFFg Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Is anyone else having trouble buying from the new store? I was going to buy one or both of the DLCs, but every time I tried it failed with a message saying "Your payment has been cancelled". Looking at the above comments, I think I'll just wait until there's a sale if KSP2 comes out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did: they replied saying it's Xsolla (who handle payments) who need to fix something here. I'm going to leave it for now; if I have to spend time and effort getting a company to take my money, it's probably a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

determinationmaster Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 none of this applies if i bought kerbal on the steam store, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno65535 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Just got notified about this account change and can't say I'm a fan of it. And I can't help but wonder if the game is still DRM free when downloaded from private division. In my experience big companies aren't very keen on offering anything DRM free. (and what about the linux version?) And what happens if we don't confirm our accounts after Oct. 17? Can't find that mentioned anywhere.

I don’t see any mention of October 17. But it’s somewhat meaningless as the switch over happened a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
