If I gave them a key, they'd have to copy and paste it into the game which would be a point of failure. They'd also get that annoying popup every time they start the game. Also they'd be able to give the key on the internet and ruin themselves. With with steam based authentication, it's a much smoother experience, you just run the game. Also it allows for time limited trials and free weekends in the future.
Treynolds416:
Is it possible for you to give keys to those who request them? I can see a few people complaining in the future because they want to play blockland without steam because other people can.
Night Fox:
are you gonna let them log in with steam to use the forum? if yes, then everyone could do that, too, right? and would there be some indication of their steam name or whatever on their profile or would that part be left out

Maybe make a Steam => Key generator?

Assuming it's just going to be a wonky integration of Steam's "sign-in via x" thing.
