If I remember right it -is- available for digital download, but maybe they're waiting for 2.0 before having it sold through a 3rd party? Otherwise I have no clue. My brother was checking steam for a few months before he decided to just get a hard copy.

No reason to promote the game to people right now so they waiting for 2.0 to release it to 3rd party company. For now they just want to fix the game and get feedback for the players who are playing now.

From what a friend told me, they actually include a code for Steam when you buy the digital edition. When they went to put it in however, Steam didn't recognize it. So I'd say they definitely have plans, just have to wait until 2.0.

Ignoring the fact that steam is terrible, why would you want it through steam? The game's launcher handles the game better than steam would.
