Steam has had boxed games, they did that with Empire total war and so on, so, youve kinda got both i guess?

Think any further updates on Steam is over today for now, will have to check back on Steam tomorrow. It makes me wonder if there was a delay on the pre-order start date or something.
They said it'd be available January, we still aren't even half way through the month.
Johan said early January and this is almost over ...
... but no matter, what. We can't play the game before 7.2.
It's not only about playing, but there will be a (not yet announced) preorder bonus.

Thank you for the answer, Johan! I can stop pressing f5 in the Steam store page now, lol.
Can we still wait for a pre-order on Steam, though, or only the regular release?

I don't think they do new releases/preorders on the weekends, so it would probably be today or next week, If not next week, then the week after. Anything could happen.
I'm completely aware of the latter, I was just considering backwards-compitability, such as playing HttT-mods, although I've bought DW for EU3. There's no option for installing EU3 up to HttT, and not DW, as far as I'm aware, which leaves the only option to either postpone the purchase of the newer DLC, or purchase in the hopes of follow-up modding for the newest installment. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well you could also just copy the game to an USB stick, and keep an unaltered copy for later use also

True.
Although, such a hassle.
Any news?
1. Will there be a preorder for steam?
2. Will we get the preorder bonus if we buy from steam?

Yes there will be. Originally it was said to appear in early January but that's been postponed to later this month.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there will be something.
After watching a few video's over the weekend, you can add me to the 'waiting to pre-order' list.
I own all of my PI games on Steam, so I hope the option becomes available soon.

The preorder bonus applies to anyone who registers within a certain time-period. That way even the people who want boxed copies can get it.
Thus you'll be fine even if Steam totally fucks up the pre-order thing and doesn't let you buy until the actual release date.
