Elite Dangerous now on Steam

Can someone quickly explain what this steam thing is and why the fuss?

Everyone has different reasons for wanting a Steam Key, personally for me I would like to have the option to use in home streaming with Elite as I screwed my shoulder up and cants reach the HOTAS currently. Sitting in the living room with the 360 controller would work a treat.
 
It is amazing, people have been playing the game for quite a while, but because it ends up on steam, suddenly a steam key is needed apparently very very badly, the game itself hasn't changed at all?
Sure a steam key and or linking or whatever would be nice, but it is really this crucial?

They wouldn't want it. I consider it NAGWARE, actually!

Some of the reasons people are giving for needing/wanting a Steam key are awesome, and make great sigs!

Please continue :cool:

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here, there was seemingly no link between my post and your reply.

You bought the game from frontier and they supplied it, you didn't buy the game from steam they didn't (and probably wont) supply it.
 
For anyone that missed it (didn't see any 'news' from Frontier on this as yet) - check it out:

You can sign into the Frontier store (which knows you are an existing player), link your Steam account with 'Sign In to Steam'.

Now it's just the politics to do the last bit and get agreement to reveal the 'Show Steam Key' from Frontier management I guess?

Woah, completely missed this, just linked my account. Where can they go from here and how long as this been available for?
 
I bought this game a week before it was released on Steam. If there was anything anywhere saying that it was coming to Steam I would have waited. I want my Steam Key.
 
Steam? More like a load of hot air!

Still waiting for someone to inform me what I'm missing out on not having a Steam key or how it will significantly affect the game I play...

Thanks, this doesn't explain what Steam is, it's purpose/effect with Elite.

Been to #1 and there's no explanation as to what Steam is.

Guys, the pseudo-trolling has to stop. If you have nothing constructive to add to the conversation and/or have no real interest in Steam keys then please just refrain from posting.
