Dude.
I'm not going to log in to my steam account via itch.io. That is just way to sketchy. If you want to live up to your promise you should make the key available from my itch.io account page. Didn't expect much to be honest, but his is kind of dissapointing.
Note that the steam log in page states that "Note that thingonitsown.itch.io is not affiliated with Steam or Valve". Not saying that this is intentional, but I for one wont jepoardise my steam login to redeem an 18 dollar game.
Neither do I. I am not a game developer and as such cannot be expected to know these things.
I am just informing you that I ,as a consumer, do not trust a .io website with the log in details to my steam library containing x amount of dollars worth of games to unlock a purchase of 18 dollars. Especially when I am expressly warned by the steam log in that itch.io is not affiliated with steam. Steam log-ins were leaked some ten years ago because third party sites sold user data to hackers. Humble bundle and other sites are affiliated with steam and as such I trust them more than itch.io.
An example of how to do it would I suppose be to do what the creators of the game "Torchlight" did a long time ago. Users were able to redeem steam codes once the game had made it on to steam by emailing the game developers through a specific email. The customer had to supply a copy of the receipt from the original transaction and were then emailed a steam code in return.
I imagine requesting these codes from steam would entail a similar process to the one game developers go through when they send review copies out to memebers of the press.
So tell me friend: How do I redeem said key via my itch.io library whitout signing in to steam? Since the prompt I get when I press "claim steam key" is to log in to my steam account... via itch.io?
Are there different viersions of the client? Do I have to download some sort of itch.io app?
Or did you just not comprehend my original message?"lmao"
I know it's late, but if you click on the sign in through steam button, Steam explains how this sign in works;
That should help alleviate any fears of your info getting compromised. Also I enabled 2FA several years ago. The only way to log into my account is through the app on my personal cell phone. That all but eliminates risk of unauthorized logins.
Don't want to do this either. Every other Steam redeem is given via a code sent to the email associated with the purchase. This is normal, what's going on here is abnormal and should not be a requirement.
This just seems like an attempt to get more metadata on users or something else sketchy and is extremely disappointing and possibly constitutes fraud.
