Huh, my brother still lack MZ so maybe this will be the chance for him to get that engine so we can work together on games in it.

The degica store gives you both an offline copy and a steam key, so you can even gift a copy to a friend. I'll always recommend the degica store - buying direct is the best deal (plus, as I understand it, the rpgmaker devs get more money than if you buy through steam).

No you can't. You are buying one license, and you may choose to install the standalone program or the steam version (or both). You are not buying two so that you can give one away. It was really only added because Mac users could not get a standalone version due to issues with DRM.


Will these discounts also come to Steam? Might pick up some of the earlier engines, and those I only have as standalone.

In that case, the text in the store definitely needs a rewrite. As is, the store lists the offline version and the complimentary steam key as two different items your purchase includes, without any indication that these two separate items share a license.
Since Steam's documentation states a license is granted to the customer when the key is activated on Steam, if Degica wants to deviate from that, they definitely need to tell customers up front to avoid confusion.

I think it's nice that I can use both. I find steam to be a pain when it comes to resources so I mainly use stand-alone versions. However, Steam seems more consistent/stable to me so I always activate the complimentary key in case I'm ever not able to download my purchases through Degica, especially since their delivery method switched to email instead of saving activation keys in your account.

Anyways, just my two cents about Steam keys because I don't want us to lose that privilege on future purchases.
