    From my understanding when the pre-order comes out you will receive a message in the email you used to purchase the game. This message will come with a link to download the game directly, and also a steam key to activate with your steam account. Now I'm not sure if the game is coming out solely on steam, but whatever the platform of its release you will still have the steam key to activate on your account.

    So no, you will not have to change your email to receive the game.
    Hope this helps

    @Preno, apparently so.
    On Topic: Just a speculation, I think you don't get the steam version unless that email has a steam account under it.
    Other than that, you can play the legit NON-Steam version via download @ the Humble Bundle page once the beta/ the game is released.

    EDIT: ...:ninja:

    Yep you don't really need to change your email, you will get a steam key whenever it's available, you will be notify with the email you bought it with and then use the steam key for your steam account. :D

    There's no need for that, you're not helping anybody.

    And since it's going through the Humble bundle site, you'll be emailed first and foremost!

    I was personally hoping they would integrate it with Steamworks. Mostly for the achievements and to be able to join a game from your friends list. Also mod support.

    There was no need for that, they asked a legitimate question. Please don't be rude.

    I know a lot of people would be against that, but I for one would be all for it. It would be sooooooooooo much simpler to just click on a friend playing and select "join".

  14. The non-steam version will be available from the link that was sent to you when you pre-ordered, the same page where can you download the soundtrack. As for steam, it won't be automatically added to your account; you will be given a steam "key" which you can add to any steam account you wish (but it only works once).

    From my experience with HumbleStore, I know, that the Steam key will appear on this page directly above your downloads (atm only the soundtrack). There is no need for a special email adress.

    my best guess is that they will send you a mail that you should check your humble bundle account.
    There you will find a link to download the game, or you can opt to get a steam key from there. They can do this in the beta stage already as they also did it with the games castle story and FTL. (they being indi studios in general)

    I quickly checked my emails: I never got an email about the Steam key of Incredipede. I only noticed the deployment of keys by following the developer on Twitter.

    But I think, Chucklefish will do a big announcement, when it's time ;)
