The confusion you show here is exactly why I have NOT bought the game through Steam. Some folks are not as disciplined as I am, I suppose. I've had more time to practice. If I were weak, then yes, I would buy a second non-Steam version.
I hate to say it, but I'm really not one to be overly concerned with making it easy for a developer. I know that was the explanation given for the Steam decision, and I can appreciate it; but it does not make any consideration of the buyer at all.
Yes, I have a Steam account. I've never purchased a game through Steam, however. Don't like it.
It wasn't done to be easy on the developer, it was done to avoid the 2 week time difference between different vendors getting patches out.
Edit: Everyone does know that the game is currently for sale from every major Digital distributor, and does not need to be purchased through Steam? Steam is simply used for updates and achievements. The game can even be run without Steam installed.
