    In Poland Paypal allows to simply transfer money to your account without actual linking it to card :p

    Please stop derailing my thread,
    This topic is about Early Access on steam for people who didnt/cant preorder
    not "just get paypal and do it yourself"

    thankyou

    Yeah. Most people here don't really have fancy cards, just Visa Electrons which aren't really viable online :p

  5. Why wouldn't you be able to pre-order?

    If it is issues with paypal here are some options:
    If you do not need a paypal account to purchase items on paypal.
    You can use a Debit card/ Credit with paypal.


    Wouldn't you need a credit card or paypal to buy games on steam?......

    One more suggestion, get a friend or parent to help you out!

  7. And if it was on steam wouldn't you also have to use paypal?

    Also, you DO NOT need an account to buy stuff with paypal... You can use a credit card!

  9. Ah, yeah. That is right.

    Can't you get a pre paid card?, That is like a steam card.

    You can get a pre paid card at your local store.

    personaly i tryed that when starbound 1st came to preorder, as you can see it didnt work,

    now can we go back on topic instead of trying to find alternatives to avoid it
     
  11. Well, the game will be on steam.

    But I don't think so for the beta.

    Because it seems you don't even want a way around, even if it would work. People are just trying to help you, but hey.. it's your thread man!

    im confused, are you trying to say that early access is a bad idea?, or are you just helping me?
     
  16. I don't believe there's going to be any kind of "early access" to anything, everyone is going to get the access to the beta at the same time.
    The game is going to come out on Steam after the full release I believe, I don't think anyone has mentioned any kind of Steam purchases before the full game comes out.
    If you would like to buy the game now you'll have to use the Humble Bundle, if you don't have a credit card or so ask a friend/parent and ask them to buy the game for you.

    Besides this thread should go either to the sticky beta discussion thread OR pre order support section if you're having trouble with getting the game :p

    @Edit
    Moving the thread to Pre Order / Beta Support section.

    When the beta is released, then it will also be available on Steam. Basically you get the beta version when pre-ordering the full game on Steam (when the beta is released).

    Edit:

    What I am saying is that Starbound doesn't need to be greenlit, it will be available on Steam when the beta is released. "When will the beta be released?" - No one knows yet, but it's expected to be released sometime within 2013.

    That's a nice contradiction you've got there. Your question has been answered, there isn't much left to say. And then people are trying to help you with alternatives, which are valid, and you tell them to stop derailing the thread.

    This topic should be closed, then. You got what you wanted.

    sence people seem to be alittle confuced on what im talking about
    http://store.steampowered.com/earlyaccessfaq/
    it is Not greenlight
    it is Not a way to play the game before beta
    its basicly exactly the same thing as the beta would work
    valve will handle severs for patches when they come out
    basicly its an alternative to what we already have (not a replacement)
    nothing wrong with alternatives right?

    oh and people keep thinking i cant get the game, a firend of mine already has a copy for me, im mainly doing this for people who arnt as lucky lol

    thanks for moving my topic
    i just saw that there was a beta section right after i posted
    oppsie :rofl:
