Converting Itch.io licenses to Steam

Heyy so I have a lot of bundle games on here and I'd like to convert the licenses I bought via Itch.io to steam since most of the games are available there. If possible I'd rather not download all of the games and manually add them to steam cuz they're probably a few hundred GB :/ Also I'm not sure but if you manually add them I think you won't get the achievements etc

Would I need to ask every developer if they'd kindly issue me a steam key or is there an uncomplicated option? ;;

If the developers wish to provide a Steam version with their work on itch.io then they can add Steam keys on itch.io via the “External Keys” functionality. If they have done this, you can access the Steam key with your purchase via your purchase page.

For some of our larger charity bundles, we explicitly disable Steam keys with the purchases. If you’re referring to our Palestine or Racial Justice bundle, then no Steam keys are included. This was written directly on the bundle’s page and the purchase dialog. The point of those bundles was not to claim as many steam keys for as cheap as possible.

We ask that you do not pester developers about adding Steam keys to their page or giving you a Steam key. It’s their decision about how they wish to distribute their work. Comments left on developer pages about giving out Steam keys will be picked up by our spam detector and deleted.

Hope that makes sense,

Thanks
