Hahah what utter rubbish.
Do people just make stuff up to be spiteful or is there some other source for this kind of nonsense?

I've backed from Prem Beta , & would love to review it, but I cant unless its a steam version. - I have around 400 games on steam, and I want to review ED, and give it a big thumbs up. Right now there are only 3 reviews. If we all had steam keys it would go "Overwhelmingly positive" overnight ! . Looks like Michael has not ruled that out though, just said "At The Moment" there is no way to do it.
They said "looking into player feedback", this is player feedback, seems pretty universal that everyone that has a copy wants a steam copy. If there gets to be to loud of a cacophony... well that's a clear indication that not handing them out is not what the players want. Silencing that would be silly, if it needs to get louder, let it get louder.
I've never heard of a game that released on Steam and didn't provide existing users keys...
My post was clearly in jest.

I dropped way more than that, and I'm happy to wait - Michael has said they'll gauge feedback and go from there. Why not wait and see..? It's not like you can't play just now...
No not only for beta and alpha backers for EVERYONE who has purchased the game. I would not of bought the game off their site if i knew it was going on steam. They said it wasnt gonna happen now look.
Aw man, I've been using Steam for many years now, and most of my game collection is through them. Had I known that Elite was going to be available via Steam, I would have waited to purchase. Steam just makes things simple. I hate standalone launchers. It's just more stuff to keep track of...yet another URL/username/password to misplace...
I recall that, when GameSpy went out of business, Steam picked up Borderlands and gave instructions on how to take your retail copy and activate it on Steam. So it is entirely possible to do the same thing with Elite.

Which is why they should have waited until they could do it right.
The Witcher series, Psychonauts, Deus Ex.

If I knew that the game will be released in Steam, then I would never have bought it through Frontier Online Store. Please add functionality for Steam key transfer who already bought game early 
Well I don't particularly know how well this game is doing... I know from appearances that more are unhappy with it than are happy with it....Almost everyone feels it has potential to be a lot better than it is.
It's not the same thing.
As you lose many options within steam client if the game is not officially added.

No it's not, most tech products early adopters get shafted, Kickstarter should be the other way around, you may feel that way but many others didn't, this is another PR disaster for FD
That's not really the point. It's another stupid decision by FD to release something before it's ready or properly implemented thereby adding more to the long list of "thing we need to fix", while at the same time generating more negative press, hard feelings and negative reviews, while somehow managing to ostracize their most loyal, experienced and positive impacting customers.
True.
But every reason is good to complain and make boardstorm, even there is no reason
