That's kind of misleading though, because if you started a trial through Steam but the bought the game through Mogstation, it still counts as a Steam account, which has caught a lot of people out as it's not immediately apparent that it is actually a Steam account. Plus, if you did it this way around, you now can't even buy the expansion through Steam, as it won't let you buy DLC for a game you don't own (and as far as Steam is concerned, you never bought the game in the first place).

Really, if they're going to lock down and segregate the accounts to this degree, it shouldn't even be possible to do a Mogstation upgrade on a Steam account... but it is somehow, and it's causing yet more problems as a result.
