Paizo Given new store - better to buy for FoundryVTT on Foundry Marketplace or Paizo?

[djotaku]

Just saw the latest Paizo blog post about the new adventure paths and digital products. They mentioned that Murder at Metal City is finally out (now that the SF2e game system for Foundry is available). In the old store, buying it through Paizo got you a free or discounted PDF. Unless I missed a key announcement this is no longer the case in the new store (I could have sworn I read somewhere they are supposedly trying to rectify this at some future unannounced date). So... suggestions or something I'm not thinking about in determining which store to buy FoundryVTT stuff in?

Thanks!

I previously bought all the Paizo FVTT stuff in the Paizo store due to it being the only option and the discount if you already have the PDF... Since the new store I haven't bought any Paizo FVTT stuff, I did get a PDF Humble Bundle and it seems like the PDFs are better with no visible watermarks (which was VERY annoying). I think I'll continue buying Paizo (FVTT) stuff from the Paizo store, so everything Paizo is in one place (sure, I'll have to activate the keys, but that's generally very simple).

I find it easier to purchase things from the foundry VTT store. If you get it directly from Paizo, there are extra steps you have to go through to get loaded onto foundry.

Other than entering keys, what steps? I'm genuinely curious - I am new to Paizo stuff. I am usually getting Tales of the Valiant or D&D stuff for Foundry.

If I recall correctly, you have to load it into Foundry as a module and activate it, in addition to the keys

You do know this is how FVTT works and this happens with every purchase? Whether from the FVTT store or from the Paizo store. The added step with the Paizo store is entering the key into the FVTT website.

It's been a while and I guess forgot the exact steps. Heaven forbid I try to be helpful.

And that is probably appreciated, you'll just be corrected on any inaccuracies.
