cost to purchase from Stardock

March 23, 2013 4:56:39 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I purchased LH from Stardock   charged £13.63 GBP

cost to purchase from Steam -              £12.49  GBP

 

I thought  buying direct from Stardock would be cheaper or same price as on steam!

If you have used Steam much you would find that games there are quite often a different price than when they are purchased through other avenues, including the publisher.

Steam is evil when it comes to savings.

Steam doesn't try to match the prices in the various regions, or directly translate the US price.  Instead they have price tiers that you get set to if you are within a certain range.
