Editing Steam (section)

==Greenlight==
The [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=314991368 Steam Greenlight] page for {{SotA}}: ''Forsaken Virtues'' was created as an effort to get Shroud into Steam Early Access. This is a great way to both reach a wider audience while at the same time offering our existing backers who use Steam a way to play Shroud in that ecosystem of friends, achievements, etc.

This will NOT be a replacement for direct download and play of Shroud, but instead it is an option. Players will still be able to directly download and play the game through the {{SotA}} website, patcher, etc. if they so wish. Backers can request Steam Keys to play the game on Steam so that they won’t have to repurchase the product on Steam.

The {{SotA}} available on Steam will be a version of the game priced at the low end of our [[Benefactor pledge rewards|current pledges]], that includes:

* Digital download of the game (Episode 1)
* Alpha + Beta access

SotA’s long-term success depends upon reaching as wide an audience as possible, and Steam is a great way to do that. So please help out by going to the Shroud of the Avatar Steam Greenlight page and voting yes to make SotA available on Steam!<ref>[http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=314991368 Steam Greenlight] for {{SotA}} was introduced in [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=44193 Update of the Avatar #91]</ref>
