They've said HW will be coming to Steam and before early access so just wait a bit longer. They have tons of time left yet to enable orders before Early Access begins.
sorry for the stupid question but how would that work then? This is my first real MMO so I have no idea how expansions work, if I do buy it from steam will I get a specific code that I type somewhere? And will my already non-steam client update itself so that it adds heavensward on it? Or do I have to download ffxiv again and then add heavensward as dlc? I am so confused right now it's frustrating
