I believe that Steam still gets the 30% cut, not too sure though.

I believe so too because the key that had been purchased on that website is still a steam key.... so once registered they most likely know from where it came etc. *though interesting to know how it works for humble bundle and such a like*

Steam and Eternal Crusade? Yes please!

So that bE gets no money from microtransactions, etc.? @.@ You sure did not read over the thread, eh?

I would love to see PayPal in here. I am very surprised at the number of titles that do not support PayPal as a payment option. I work online, and all my money goes into PayPal.
The more payment options you support the better.

I will not use the microtransactions so for me, personally I couldn't care less. Bring the game on steam though and I'll definitely "buy" it but if not I will probably not. <shrug.> If you have any links that provides the hard facts that steam is in anyway actually in the way for mirco's please share though, there is loads of F2P titles on steam.

Edit; Yepp, steam takes about 20-30% from any profit gained.
