It would be great to have Samorost on Steam, it would so fit Samorost 2 and Machinarium!

Samorost 2 is now out on steam!

There is a way to get my copy buyed on the site on steam?  ;)

I spoke about Samorost, not Samorost 2.

hi,
Samorost1 is for free on the web so it won't be on Steam.
and no, it's not possible to activate Samorost2 on Steam if you bought it on our website, sorry.

"Free on the web" is not a reason for it being impossible to be on Steam.

Is it possible to give away games for free on steam?

And I don't even ask to have this game for free, I ask to have Samorost avaible for S2 buyers, this means that Samorost won't even be free.

And yup, having two games after buying one single game is possible too.

If they gave S2 buyers on steam a copy of S1 as well...then yes it would be free...so fail...

It wouldn't be free, it would be a part of the S2 package. Technically at least, your definition of free still doesn't match my however. But this doesn't matter anyway.

If you look at another game on Steam (Time Gentlemen Please) you will see they supplied Ben There, Dan That with it, which is in essence the same structure as Samorost 1 & 2. First game is free, 2nd game isn't.

I believe that is the kind of purchase you are thinking about ReBoot?

The only reason I'm not buying Samorost 2 on Steam (although I'd love to) is due to the first one not being on there as well. It just feels incomplete.

Yup, something like that. Or something like Sin being avaible for byuers of the first Sin episode.

I will instantly buy it if it have also Samorost in a bundle (and with soundtrack it will be even better) .. (I bought the Time Gentlemen Please combo and really liked both games, and it was pretty enjoyable, even if the first game is available on internet for free) only telling because the fact that I like to have game on Steam, even if its free somewhere else... just for the possibility to run it trough the Steam like Machinarium or Samorost 2, it is bad to must search somewhere for Samorost 1 if I want to play it, when I have Samorost 2 on Steam :) ... so... /signed in this

You can add Samorost to Steam as a non-Steam game.

I know... but it isn't same as if you have game in your games tab, forever, and can download and play the game from here, not to must find it somewhere on internet :)

I dunno chaps, all this kerfuffle about bundling Samorost1 along with S2 on STEAM just seems pointless to me when all I have to remember is "http://amanita-design.net/" and I can revisit S1 online anytime I want to... or just download Samorost 1 directly using forum member dg10050's solution (http://www.mediafire.com/?fvqgep09d4t) (which is contained in the Samorost 1 (http://forum.amanita-design.net/index.php?topic=77.msg290#msg290) thread here on our forum)   ::)

oh too bad you dont want it there :( ... I would pay even 1x more money to have it in my Steam games list tab, really :)

Oh, please don't get me wrong Mavi!  I'm just one of the mods here.  JD's "the decider".   ;D
And I didn't mean any offense to you or ReBoot, I just don't see the importance of getting S1 up on STEAM when it's so easily available through so many other means.   :)

well.. it will help in selling S2. I know, it will not do as money as Machinarium, because of its price, but people like to get something, + something for free.. and it will appease the Amanita Design fans on Steam :) ... but I know these arguments aren't so good to do something with it..

You seem not to understand this. This is not only about easy access to Samorost, this is about having a sophisticated collection of Amanita games on Steam. And Samorost belongs into this collection, side by side with Samorost 2 and Machinarium.

I agree and I registered on this forum just to make this point :)

Just like Zombie Cow Studios did with Ben There, Dan That it is a really nice extra to have Samorost1 available to play offline for customers who purchase Samorost2. This is an often heard remark on several forums and has stopped certain people (among them myself) from paying $5 for Samorost2.

Please include Samorost1 with Samorost2? Pretty please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? :)

Or at least make it a free download, or does Amanita actually need the ad money?
