As I've unlocked more Steam achievements this has started to bother me more than I first thought. There are maybe as many as five-six achievements I will never get if you don't change the way they are unlocked. I cannot reset them as I cannot remove the game from Steam and start anew.
The game and its achievements have been permanently tied to my Steam account. To fix this I would need to start up a new Steam account. I'm sure you can understand why this is not possible, you must have accounts of your own with dozens of games, friends, achievements, groups etc.
I realise this is a special case where someone first uses the Cyanide client and then switches to the Steam one. But consider this: people who do things like this are your most loyal and appreciative audience. They are your biggest supporters.
I'm not just talking about myself, I figure there must be at least some others who have gone through the same arc I have. Buying the Cyanide client as soon as it came out to support you and because you're eager to play it. Later buying the Steam client as you wish to have the Steam community features, so you can e.g. lure your friends to play the game too when they see you playing it on Steam all the time and obviously having fun, racking up achievements, even.
You know, back in school, when a teacher didn't give you a grade you knew you deserved? Yeah, that's what this feels like.
