Hmmm I've been gifted Steam keys by solo devs for years now so that excuse seems a bit lacking. I'll be buying the game in Steam since it's so cheap but I'm not really pleased with your explanation on why you couldn't just give keys to the people that bought it. Oh well, it is what it is I suppose.

what I wanted to post too. £2/$3 is not worth arguing over though so already bought a copy on Steam. Plus is a fun game and I don't mind throwing some more support for it.

Thanks for your post and for buying Neophyte. Out of curiosity, did those solo devs retroactively send a steam key? (i.e. game released on itch first, then steam release later, then gifted key for steam without another purchase)

Hey, I just wanted to send through this in case it might help you to figure this out. Looks like you just have to generate bulk keys on Steam and enter them into the "external download keys" page as shown here. Then itch automatically gives them out to users who click the "Get Steam Key" button on the game's page.

At the bottom there it says "If your game has been for sale on itch.io for a while before being on Steam those who have purchased it can go back to their download page and still get a key."

Good luck!
