The Steam version has just been patched to 1.04. Now let's hope we don't end in the same situation with 1.05.
BTW, BasiliskWrangler, is there any chance that you'll offer both a normal game key and a Steam one for your next games?
There's other independent game studios that also offer that possibility, one of the latest being Frictional Games with Amnesia. I found it a very nice promotional tool to attract customers to their own store which in turn also offered benefits to their customers. Having the possibility of keep using Steam if you wish to or use the normal version to avoid problems with patches is very tempting for any gamer, and was one of the key factors that made me pre-order the game using their store instead of Steam.
While Amnesia uses different keys for each version there's also other games like Mount & Blade or Zeno Clash which use a single key for them both (or, in some cases, most of the digital game sellers, not only Steam). I don't know which system you'd find more convenient, but any of those would be very much appreciated.
