Hi there, the Steam key only unlocks the client in the library. It does not grant Early Access. I hope this clears things up!
it does not. Why would such a vague answer pose clarity? Where do you unlock access with a purchased key then????? There seems to be nowhere on the site. I also stated that I linked my steam account, and set to public (not sure if thats an issue for your server side visability or not) - by the way, 2 steps which seem incredibly unnecessary.

Where would one redeem a purchased key then?
also.... Why would it be necessary to link a steam account, if it has nothing to do with the validation of the key? needless red-tape?
Hi there, you can redeem an Early Access key here:

If you've already been granted early access on your Standalone account but wish to play via Steam, you can link your Steam account to the Standalone account within the "Manage Accounts" page found here:

https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/connections

that link is a step in the right direction - only thing is it's saying invalid key when I enter it both with and without the dashes. Does the 30$ steam purchase not unlock the beta access?
