I know that the game is going to be released today. Is it only going to be on the Matrix store today or on steam. I really want to play it. I just prefer the convenience of steam. I know you guys make more money if you don't have to use steam's storefront so is there a way you could sell steam keys as I know other companies do?

If you buy from Matrix, you will get the game today PLUS a Steam key once it is available on Steam.

Don't have to give Steam 30%, more goes to the developer.

I use Steam as a launcher/updater for most of my games, but for Matrix games, I try to purchase directly from Matrix to better support them and their developers like Vic as they don't lose Steam's cut of the transaction. I still get a key for the game in Steam, so it's the best of both worlds if you like to use Steam.

And yet steam is ALWAYS significantly cheaper for me. At times in the order of $20-30 cheaper. Even when Matrix has a sale and steam doesn't, steam is STILL cheaper.

Waiting is a perfectly viable strategy
