A poll regarding Steam keys for Elite : Dangerous owners

Steam keys for existing players makes perfect sense, for us and for FD.
Yes I would love to have one.
I use steam alot. Having it track time is a big plus for me. Would love to have it native instead as a nom-steam game.
FD really should have issued Steam codes to their existing player-base first, so that we could upload videos, guides and write reviews that explained what the game was and what you could do....
Because they didn't, the user rating on Steam is tanking because of people that have played it for a day and have no idea what to do...Though it may also be a rather harsh wake-up call for FD regarding the short-comings of their game and what they need to prioritize for future updates.

Huge fan of Steam and Elite, but honestly, I couldn't care less.
I live in the northeastern US, relatively close to a Steam update server. Slowest download I have seen from Steam? 10MB/s. Fastest I have seen in the E
Launcher for updates/installs? 5MB/s. I'd also rather launch through steam (I don't mind logging in to ED, keeping FD able to ban people from Open is a good thing for everyone) as Steam will track my playtime so I can see how much time I actually am sinking into the game (for reference, I am currently at over 1350 hours in Euro Truck Simulator 2 since it hit Steam. Second place goes to Crusader Kings II with 540 hours).

If you already have an ED account and are changing over to the steam version that key has already been locked to your account.

Only 5MB/s? You're breaking my heart.
YES!
I just saw that this game came out on Steam and all I have to say is that I would LOVE having this game in my library. I really hope they consider giving us this option as I had no idea Elite: Dangerous would be coming to Steam when I bought it some months back. It would also make convincing potential players into picking it up much easier if they see you playing it all the time.
Really awesome game. Please consider this!

I think that if you backed the game before launch like Beta two and prior I would almost say we are very much entitled to the steam key as we already purchased the game at a higher price point in the first place and if they released it on steam then we should get a key its fair.
Especially considering that not downloading while playing is the default behaviour...
I'd like one, if only so that steam updates the game automatically for me rather than firing up the launcher, seeing the upgrade button, and having to wait for a terminally slow download after which I no longer have time to play.
How could it be "dumb" since having a game activated on steam is very different compared to having a non-steam game in the list. Just look at the posts in this thread mentioning the advantages of having the game active on steam, so you could be enlightened on what's the difference.
I want steam key
I want key for my steam library.
Here's my library: http://steamcommunity.com/id/sebelik1/games/?tab=all

I def want one.
I have a lot of friends who play elite as friends on my steam account, I'd like to know when they start the game, when I'm not on it.
I also ABSOLUTELY want the automatic update feature, SO MUCH.
Keeping track of my playtime in Elite could be nice, too but I really doubt it'd be correct as of now... Because I already have hundreds of hours in game lol.
This is a really dumb answer. You obviously don't know how steam works.
