Fair enough, but Steam having its own in-game community features is certainly an advantage over those services/shops that don't, which is why it is easy to just use them. But if you can handle these features adequately then that's not an issue.
FRED SPEAKETH THE TRUTH.
With a game like ours you want as big of a community playing the same game on day one as possible. By opening our multiplayer up to ANYONE who buys the game ANYWHERE we're giving ourselves the best chance to do that. I was skeptical at first, but I think in the end it makes the most sense given our DRM free, consumer focused approach to developing games.
Also, if you play on Steam you still get the Steam overlay and Steam achievements and Steam Community Hub and STEAM TRADING CARDS!!!!1
