[STEAM] How to download DRM-free version if bought on Steam

Post by cairo140 »

Is there any way to download a DRM-free version if I bought the game on Steam? I'm interested in installing it on another computer, my work computer, on which I can't get Steam.

Currently there is no way to do this, but the devs are looking into it:

Basically you can just download the game from the website.
I think you can't do that if you bought the game on Steam at the moment.
If you buy the game on the site => you can retrieve a Steam key
If you buy the game on Steam => you have it only on Steam.
This is the situation at the moment. For the 0.13 we would like to have the opposite way as well. The idea would be that the web page account would be created directly from the game after running it via Steam. However we need to do a bit of research about this. The possibility to create Factorio account for Steam users will be necessary because we are planning to introduce multiplayer matching server and mod portal which will use authentication with factorio accounts.
