are you talking about:
"Please note: After purchase, please redeem the game key - it's a special link to create your game account, which is necessary to log in in-game."
or:
"Vintage Story is an uncompromising wilderness survival sandbox game inspired by lovecraftian horror themes."
neither says where. i even got an email that said this:
"Download and install instructions from Tyron:
Please download and install as normal, then request the key that is supplied with the purchase, this should supply you with a unique link that let's you create your game account."
they keep talking about a key that i get with the game. where is it? is it coming through the post office? heck i can even log into the homepage where i now know i could have gotten the game cheaper, but that doesn't seem to help at all. in order to go the the "client area" i need the same log in info that need for the game, which is a bit of a catch 22. maybe the directions should read: 'go to the web page and create an account, and don't use any services to create an account' but if you are going that far why not: 'go to the website and buy the game direct and save money, you have to create an account there anyway.' that assumes that creating an account on the website there is what is needed and not some other place to create a game account.
