It usually boils down to this: Buy it from the place that's the most convenient for you or compatible with your principles/beliefs.

I hold much respect for developers working Independently and doing what they do, so if the option is available I'll get the game directly from the devs.

Since you can do that, why don't you just go and do exactly that? Wink

I preordered the game months ago. Best $10 I ever spent, I tell you what.

I was just stating my general approach to purchasing indie titles, as a matter of fact I pre-ordered Amnesia directly from the frictional store!
But I appreciate your kind gesture of informing me, so no apologies needed Wink

Don't you get a Steam key when you get it off of Frictional's store anyways? Or was that just for us that preordered?

I have just bought it from the Frictional store, paying out an extra 3 quid over the Steam version becuase I thought i'd get a Steam key. I didn't get one Sad.

Steam keys a bonus only for pre-orders.

Wish I'd gone with Steam in the first place now. It was 3 quid cheaper.
