Please allow Steam License holders to buy a standalone PC License.

Exactly what it says on the tin.

For a variety of reasons, I do not like using the Steam launcher. Some of them are matters of personal privacy. Others are related to issues I have with its functionality on start up and ongoing performance.

Had I known years ago when I first bought the game that more and more linking would be done between my FFXIV account and my Steam account, I would have gotten the stand-alone PC license. The upcoming changes, unless I can figure out something with Steam's help-desk, may make my secondary account inaccessible.

I'm at the point where I would honestly consider getting a PS4 license to run it on my dying old brick of a console rather than continue using Steam. I would *happily* pay for the full game, again, just to never have to deal with Steam again on either of my accounts.

And I know I'm not alone in that. Every further integration, irritation comes up with many of my friends who play the game.

While I doubt SquareEnix will consider it, I can dream right?
