By your definition...
Whereas your general labelling of a community of > 100 million gamers as stupid and arrogant is of course an example of intelligence and excellence. Keep up your good work ITT...
You are more of a problem than people you call "stupid and arrogant".
Valve is not going to charge Frontier to give out game keys. Everyone knows this.
I was hesitant to buy this game in the first place due to no Steam. I love Steam and now that this game is available there I want my game to be there.
It isn't because the game was bought somewhere else/ Early backers paid between 150 to 300+ dollars just to test this game in an early state. At least part of the reason for this game being so expensive early on was to attract people who were the most in love with the idea of the game. Making such people feel slighted would be bad for business; don't think anyone has the power to stop the troll transformation if that happened.
Steam Advantages...
The game auto updates itself; you will never come home from school or work, to find out that the update could have downloaded while you where away or slept. I have about 180 games or so on steam and they all update themselves; the alternative I don't have time for. Also some of us have slower internet with no option for ISP upgrades in our areas and no immediate practical way to move.
Many of us use steam as our entire gameing friends network since like Counterstrike... a lot people like gameing with the same friends, they have always gamed with, on the same platform.
Modding is the easiest on steam of all platforms to create, share and use player made content in a variety of games.
Friends can request to watch you game to see how it looks or for fun whatever.. Think twitch tv with public and private friends options.
I could easily keep going but I'm not
I bought this game like a year ago from the company that made this awesome game. That same company put it on steam which is a platform that I love and millions of people use constantly. People are exited about steam keys obviously as I type on page 142. The Keys are coming and I don't see how it is going to affect you.
I'll never understand this what seems to me to be an 'I don't like ice cream so nobody else should get to have any' discussion. Not something free something that was paid for.

What "free stuff"? Nobody is asking for anything they haven't already paid for, only that the game be bound to their Steam account. And this option is available free of charge to all devs coming to Steam with existing player base. If you don't want your game on Steam why would you care if others do? Leave us be. If you don't see the advantages of using Steam feel free to use retail copy.

I'd also like to add I think you owe me one considering it took you months to respond to my support request regarding 4k monitor support. Thankfully I found my answer in the forums but you guys got your money now please give me my steam key. It's the least you could do.
Your intelligence is blinding me... no wait... it's just the sun that shines through your ears
My input is pure and simple.
I WANT A STEAM KEY AND I WANT IT NOW.
Im not a original backer, im not an alpha or a beta player. BUT I did preorder this game and play on day 1!
I could rant and rave on about why we deserve it but im sure someone else already has. hey i aint reading all these posts hahaha.
Expecting a steam key to my registered email address very soon Frontier. DO NOT DISAPPOINT
