Used to be anti-Steam until about 9 months ago when I tried it, decided to give it a go after Impulse got sold to Satan... er Game Stop. Now I love Steam, I don't use the social functions much just the store and game library. Don't see what the big deal for some people is, Steam isn't better than sliced bread but it isn't a Steam-ing (pun-y!) pile either.
As this is a single player game it would be fine. However the last pole was about the possibility of adding multiplayer, if that is something that is still being considered then it is a bad idea. It would split the community down the 32/64-bit line and restrict who you could play with, so long as the game is available in both formats the DLCs should be in both formats. Again this is only relevant if the idea of adding multiplayer is still on the table, if not then as I said
Thank you for the Fallen Enchantress Beta, wish I had more time to play it than I do. When we finally move from Beta to release will you be selling the game via any other distribution channels, specifically Steam? Will you make it possible for Steam users to Activate their copy on Steam after release if you do sell it on Steam?

[/quote] In Economics they traditionally refer to "guns & butter" choices, Military (guns) or Civilian (butter) spending. Since this is a fantasy setting he changed guns to swords.
