Can I wait to use my steam key I got..

[Strider]

Received my steam key via email for purchasing a package from Gorgon store awhile back. Do I have to use it now or can i wait til after the early steam beta is over?

Not particularly fond or in a hurry to install steam on my system. Had it on another puter and had problems with it. If I have to guess i will but really wish could continue logging in way we can now instead of thru steam.

The alpha launcher probably won't be around for that long.

You can wait to use your key until the alpha launcher stops working, but it will only keep working for about a week more.

It looks an account will still work with the alpha launcher even after it's been connected to a Steam account. I purchased a Steam copy for my mule account, and I am currently able to log in on that account both with Steam and with the alpha launcher.

So, I'd suggest getting Steam set up now just in case you run into any problems with Steam, and once you know it's working, you can keep using the alpha launcher until it breaks. I should probably do the same with my main account - I just haven't been anxious to deal with Steam either. :p

But what i wanted to know is do i have to use the key i got now or can i just wait til the after the early steam beta is over.

Strider I don't know that Steam keys expire, but someone might steal it before you get to use it. The alpha client will expire soonish, so you'd have to also not be playing and hope you don't lose your key.
