Yes, it was a bit of a shock to me also. Anyway LH on steam is the full game, so no need for FE,  I have actually uninstalled FE as LH seems to be a much better game, but is still basically FE with nobs and whistles.

It's a steam world I guess or maybe it is only necessary while LH is in beta.

I also hope the final relase of LH will be aviable via Stardock as well.

I'm sitting in the train for nearly 2h each workday at moment and then I use my Laptop that never see the Internet so I dont have to run a energy and resource draining Anti Virus software there, so Steam is no option and I would love to play this game during this "waiting" times.

Together with other trips I do and with a lot of other things I have to do during the time I'm at home Steam and similiar shops that not give out the install files are general no option for me.

The problem with this is that the Laptop absolut never will see the Internet trough its livetime and so even Steam offlinemode wont work for this.

I just forward the necesary files from my computer at home so anything that need some kind of Internetconection even if just trough the installing wont work for me.
