Finally, someone else who actually read the initial post.
Same here. I did the £150.00 tier, PLUS I bought a copy for a friend who would not have bought it for himself AND bought some paint jobs for my ships. I think I've earned a Steam key. Ditto for the steam cards, backgrounds, emotes, etc... that'll just be extra money for the devs and I'll enjoy having the Elite Dangerous Badge + a nifty background for my profile.
It's later posts suggesting that Valve is somehow getting a cut from the FDEV store that are causing concern. I'm more loyal to Frontier than to Valve right now so if that's the case I don't plan on giving them money I want to give to Frontier.

same here, actually it says: Your account is linked to Steam.
and.... nothing, any key anywhere, and in my steam library it isn't
Same here! Either the store page is coded very poorly (which uses magento, a free online shopping/cart software) or they're running their shop on a tablet pc... Riddiculous.
How dare they use ready made commerce system?!!?!!
They should write all from scratch, they are programmers after all !??! Let them waste another month on creating commerce system while there are hundreds alternatives already. Let them reinvent the WHEEL!!!!
....
same here
I'll add to that and say: Same here
BUT, patience, I am sure it'll sort itself out.
That is not what the information says. It says once you have linked accounts purchases made even on Frontier store will go with a cut to Steam .

We found the guy who can read.
No, in fact there is no need for re-inventing the wheel. I dunno maybe they are using the paid version which offers a bit better solution, there is either an optimization problem or their servers are riddiculously weak.
The problem with using such kind of frameworks/software packages are that they use exquisite amount of system resources per render. Wordpress, Magento, OpenCart, etc... All the same!
And yes, I have been earning my money as a software developer for seventeen years. Cheers.
... and it's not him, or you.
While I suspect it is true that Valve does not take a cut from sales on FDEV's store, Edward's posts seem to suggest otherwise. Personally I think this is a miscommunication but I'm waiting for confirmation before acting.
Others subscribe to the latest information, which is that Valve takes a cut from FDEV's store. They want confirmation. Either way we are all well aware of what's been said. The only ones having trouble reading are the ones being pointlessly contrary - like you - without knowing all the details.

Thats why i hate brokers.
They produce nothing and cut off 30% of hard work somebody else.
I do not put my hand into it. May Steam keep their keys.
NOT steam is sitting at nights and talking with people here. It is ED.
NOT steam is sitting at work and designing game. It is Sandro.
NOT steam is hardly working with AI algorytms. It is Sarah.
NOT steam is managing everything. It is hard work of Michael.
And not steam is doing other work, betas at weekend. it is the rest of FDev team. And kudos should belong to them, NOT steam.
That's how i see it.

Can someone please confirm if the Steam version of ED updates all of ED's game files, or if it only updates the ED launcher? I've read conflicting reports, and my interest in the Steam version is mainly for this...
P.S. I don't know why it's beyond the wit of Frontier to make it's Launcher update itself. It shouldn't be rocket science!
