HEX is coming to Steam!

[Vorsa]

We are hoping to get a lot of new folks. We hope that some of them will spend money on the game

Sounds like a plan.

How will this effect players with multiple accounts? Can I link my main account to steam but still log into other accounts when needed ?

Yes, I believe that's how it'll work.

If I link my account to Steam do they start getting a cut of the money I spend on Hex?

Valve has enough of my money, I want to make sure I'm still giving the maximum percentage to HexEnt.

If you link your account to Steam, they will in fact get their cut of the money you spend on Hex. If you choose to do nothing to your account, then your experience (and our revenue from you) doesn't change.

This is awesome! I'm excited to see the growth this will bring to the game.

Maybe take down the hoax micro-transaction articles a.s.a.p. though - they aren't obvious jokes to people unfamiliar with Hex/cynical of FTP card games on Steam (could be a fatal first impression).

Sounds like I won't be using Steam for Hex then!

Will Steam change any of the UI or how transactions are processed (ie - through Steam instead of Gameforge)?

No significant UI changes, but transactions will be processed differently. There's a payment processor through gameforge and through Steam. Depending on how you have hex set up, you'll get one or the other.

What's steam?

Steam is the vapor into which water is converted when heated, forming a white mist of minute water droplets in the air. It's also a Internet-based digital distribution platform. Kind of like a cloud but hotter.
