[QUOTE="Epsilon, post: 113262, member: 381"] I don't think they have much choice about that. Apparently Valve told them they can't sell everything separately in the store front, probably because the complexity of the Table Packs vs. Individual Tables vs. Season Packs with or without Pro Upgrades would likely cause them a lot of headaches from a customer service standpoint. Their system probably isn't equipped to handle flagging things on multiple levels like that. Steam is generally very good about preventing people from buying things they already have access to, but TPA is probably more complex than what they have infrastructure for internally in that regard. I could be wrong about this, but I strongly suspect that they can't generate Steam keys for things that can't be purchased in the Steam store front. Maybe they can, but I'd imagine it would be a tremendous hassle. I don't really care about the Kickstarter tables not being tied to Steam, personally. I figure if I want a table badly enough to throw them extra money to fund it, it's not a huge deal just to buy the table again in-game so Steam keeps track of it. I'm probably just going to buy all the season packs as they become available anyway. [/QUOTE]
