Is there any chance that this game will be coming to Steam? I rarely buy physical copies of games anymore and would be extremely happy if this game came to Steam.

Doubt it will come to steam, but if you didn't know, you can buy a downloadable version on shipsim.com.

Ok, thanks for the ridiculously fast responses guys. I will be getting the downloadable version. Was hoping it would be on steam simply for the ease of use. Steam has spoiled me with how easy it is.

fyi:  it will also available (as a download) from GamersGate.  and if you pre-order, you get access to the PDF manual now.

Yes, we have an agreement with STEAM and there will be a STEAM version as well...no pre-order and pre-order bonus content with STEAM though.

Steam is the largest content delivery service for games with around 1100 games available. Its developed by Valve, the people behind Half Life.

You buy a game from them and it's downloaded to your PC as well as kept up to date automatically, sorting patches and such by itself. Pretty nifty. And when you need to, you just download the game again, say incase you got a new PC. Theres also a chat function and various other fancy things.

I used it a lot until they fixed their prices at 1€=1$, making games extremely expensive in europe compared to other retailers (current exhange rate is ~1€ = 1.3$, meaning a $50 game should cost €38 and a bit, not €50..)

That is excellent news! Will the Steam version be coming out soon after the retail release?
