Don't know if this will help as I never used Steam, but hopefully there'll be something in here which will help you...

When I log in I see "Please purchase/redeem Elite Dangerous to continue" or Demo only.
The "Please purchase/redeem Elite Dangerous to continue" message will appear when the launcher does not detect Elite Dangerous game access. If you have purchased Elite Dangerous for S...

doesnt help because it eventually just tells you how to log in with steam. If I choose launcher option, same result.
When did you buy the game?
IF you happen to buy your copy of ED from steam after April of last year, you must utilized Steams launcher. One could do it prior to April, 2019, but for some reason unknown to us, it's no longer possible. That said, with the new DLC only available via steam, perhaps the ability will be available again.
It won't be available from the Frontier store? Has that been officially stated?
I imagine it will be available from the store.
I don't do Steam.
Yes, I believe that's the case also. At the end of all the teaser videos Frontier is the first of the 'platforms' listed followed by Steam, Xbox and PS4.
But people come up with all sorts of stuff on the forums, so I just wanted to see whether there was any basis for the comment. I also don't do steam.
In that case is there any way I can use EDprofiler in steam? You have to run it with the launcher exe so I don't see any way through steam.
open files [ in steam],look for icon eagle send to desk top,double click it and it takes you to main launch page, click play,thats how i do it ,only go into steam if i have to,

no need to run it with the launcher exe - you can just change settings with EDProfiler, then close it and launch the game normally - it will keep the settings (unless you change them ingame of course). I do it all the time when I switch between flatscreen (for screenshots) and VR (for playing).
Alarmist nonsense. Do stop posting this unless you can get a firm confirmation from DBOBE in writing as MANY MANY thousands of us have store-bought copies.
No it has not been stated. The idea that it will be Steam-only is just that people see the "wishlist" thing and make assumptions. Alarmist rubbish that was shot down a yonk ago.
The only issue I foresee is that since F D Store doesn't do "sale price" offers any more, only Steam sales will ever get the DLC at reduced prices (note ED and Horizons have not had a "sale" in FrontierStore since forever).
