Pre-order badge?

[trcanberra]

Just curious about how we get a pre-order badge for the forums? I have a pre-order on Steam, but assume that when the game is released the CD key will be a standard game key, so how do we get a code to show it was a pre-order? Apologies if I have missed something obvious.

Not if you pre-ordered. Your key will unlock a forum pre-order key if you pre-ordered it. Just like every other title

Everyone who hasn't already gotten the keys (by mistake) will have it on release day.

EU4 should show up in Steam. Just click 'CD Key' and you can register the game!

That is only happening with some people, not everyone can see their key before launch.

Steam isn't the only place to pre-order the game y'know

Steam appears in my list of games, but its a grey box rather than an icon, and the menu is limited with no sign of a CD key.
I guess it will appear eventually.

The Icon is not cute at all.

I agree, boycott the pre-order because the badge is ugly.
