[QUOTE=Goodwell;33306415]I just checked my game list... It turns out i already HAVE Trine 2. Odd. Think i'll still get promos?[/QUOTE] Everyone who already had L4D2 still got Ellis's Cap and Frying Pan. Everyone who already had Plants vs Zombies got the Brain Bucket and Dead Cone. etc. You'll be fine.

however, some promos are restricted to only pre-ordering on Steam, so if you got it from another place there's a chance you may not get it.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;33306456]however, some promos are restricted to only pre-ordering on Steam, so if you got it from another place there's a chance you may not get it.[/QUOTE] It's apparantly linked to steam. S'got a link and description of the game, news etc. And there's a multiplayer beta below it.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;33306456]however, some promos are restricted to only pre-ordering on Steam, so if you got it from another place there's a chance you may not get it.[/QUOTE] So long as the site gives you a Steam key and is registered on your steam account before the release you should be good to go. I pre ordered Red Orchestra 2 from GMG and I got my hats.

Had SR3 and Deus Ex on Steam before they were released, and received nothing.

Wait? The appoca's aren't craftable anymore? Nooooooooooo!

i think it is a stupid idea to make some promotional items buyable from the shop (magika) and some not like tha maul etc, why would the companies turn down the chance to make some more profit from people who dont want the game for pc but are willing to buy the items if givemn the chance.

Hnnnng wizard hat

godly looking combo [url]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/320/6/7/knightly_heavy_by_flamonxrenamon-d4ge5g6.jpg[/url] knight's hat + jaw edit: I realize its posted, I agree, just sharing my feelings on the matter.

Ugly promos.

good news from SUF [quote]Maul and Three Rune Blade have a craft_class: pyro and scout.[/quote] This crafting change only applied to the Apoco-Fists

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;33308093]good news from SUF This crafting change only applied to the Apoco-Fists[/QUOTE] almost read that as maul and three rune blade can both be used by pyro and scout.

The new wizard hat isn't paintable what is this injustice where's Psyke!?

Just imagine normal Apoco-Fists being more valuable than Genuine Apoco-Fists because of this... Yeah right.

Trine 2 promos? makes me wish I didn't quit TF2.

Needs more Sonic Generations Promo. I want Sonic's shoes for Scout dammit.

I called it! i called the wizard hat

I really liked trine, I like when they add promo items for games I actually want to buy.

[QUOTE=Dirt Bastard;33311659]I really liked trine, I like when they add promo items for games I actually want to buy.[/QUOTE] That's the point of promo items though, to get people to buy a game that isn't very popular in order to boost sales.

Okay typical Noob question coming up, this is my first time buying a game + getting Promo items. I pre-perchased Trine 2 like...idk 20 mins ago, I'm currently downloading the Beta Steam added to my games list. While doing that I thought I'd check TF2 if said items were added to my Backpack, obviously no results (Beta is still downloading) For the items to go in my Backpack do I need to have the game installed and then start up TF2 or do I have wait some time for Valve to give me the items? I hate being a noob but it's my first time and I'm confused. Also the War Head and steel Jaw combo go rather well, I might just do that.

[QUOTE=Ian;33313222]That's the point of promo items though, to get people to buy a game that isn't very popular in order to boost sales.[/QUOTE] I was on the bench for Trine 2. I loved the first Trine, but wasn't sure about the sequel. This was the last little push i needed.

[QUOTE=Ian;33313222]That's the point of promo items though, to get people to buy a game that isn't very popular in order to boost sales.[/QUOTE] Didnt really help Homefront and Armageddon now did it.

Valve are just proably a bit delayed with giving the items out again.

Also I guess it was quite good that I crafted those Apoco Fists two days ago, since they aren't craftable anymore, yay.

Torchlight 2 promos, valve. do it.

Well after installing the game, playing the first level, then tried TF2, nothing happened. I guess I'll just have to wait a few hours? ._.

Ah okay, sorry for the un-needed posts folks, but I was just curious. Well I guess they should be in my backpack soonish, well I hope so ._.

Magicka: The stars are left promo please valve, make it happen

[QUOTE=iRunner;33314440]Magicka: The stars are left promo please valve, make it happen[/QUOTE] I was thinking the same, another magicka promo would be cool, maybe a staff for the pyro?
