Steam preloads BioShock, then gets Amnesia

[rebb]

Just wow. I was just done preloading BioShock ( Full ) over Steam - my first real "about to buy a game over Steam" Experience. I had gotten it by clicking the "Preload" Button in their Store, not previous payment-popup came up which surprised me, but maybe thats normal on Steam and you just pay for the unlock ?

Anyway, after it was done downloading the game to 100%, i restarted Steam - and lo and behold - there is no "BioShock" Entry in the "My Games" List. Even tho all the files are still present that were downloaded.

Nice.

Guess it's Valve's way to say "we don't want your money".

It is not steam. Sorry to disappoint you. This is 2k. Peak usage time, everyone all trying at once to play it, and activate it through 2k and on steam.

Do the math, it is not steam this is all on 2k.

Yeah well this doesn't have anything to do with activating. The bloody Game is not showing up in the Games List inside Steam. Shouldn't there be at least a "BioShock - waiting for purchase" in there ?

I am 100% that steam is downloading from their server not 2k's why would they?
