If I pre-order NS2, can I play on Steam?

There's a good chance of this, but we can't promise it yet. Once NS2 is officially on Steam and Steamworks, Valve will probably be able to make this happen. But that will be determined later. For now, we can't promise that pre-ordering NS2 will let you play on Steam.

If you put out a Mac version or Linux version, will this pre-order let me play on those platforms?

We can't commit to a Mac or Linux version, but if we do, we let you use the same pre-order key on all those versions. Your key can only be in use on one machine at a time, but you can input it to as many systems as you like. We're big Mac fans here and we want it and we have the same problem with other games. We have to reserve the right to change this policy, but I don't see us doing so.

Can I change my e-mail address I pre-ordered with (ie, my Paypal e-mail address)?

Yes, just go here.

I didn't receive my CD-key or order confirmation in e-mail.

We've had problems sending e-mail to some domains, so if you ever need your key resent to you, you can always go here to retrieve it. Sorry about that!

I need more information!

OK, here goes: We have no exact date for the alpha or beta. We're not sure if you will be able to run servers for the alpha or beta. You'll always be able to re-download the game even if not through Steam. NS2 will probably use Steamworks for your friends list, even if you're not playing it through Steam. It will auto-update whether standalone or through Steam.

Now, back to the pre-order page!
