Steam related question

Previously it has been stated that the game would be released through steam and for that you need to have a running steam account.

Now with the pre-orders i'm wondering if you'll be needing to run steam for that version of the game we'll be able to download it directly from unknownworlds?
Or will it become a requirement in the future once the game is released on steam as well?

Asking because i can't run steam due to ISP. :/

    They've repeatedly mentioned a standalone edition; although I don't know what that means, I'd assume it meant not connected to Steam. I know if I was Unknown Worlds I would prefer my game to be on every digital distribution scheme with a decent sized playerbase, as well as from my own site.

    UWE will supply Mirrors, but I suspect you'll still need an Account on Steam to be able to play online.

    They may use Steam as a Cheatprotection and Keycheck for banned Players.

    they should use all steam features, not only Vac and Chat systems.

    Last I knew, they where using the steamworks feature of steam. You can see these at <a href="http://steampowered.com/steamworks/" target="_blank">http://steampowered.com/steamworks/</a> .
    What it works out to is steam friends, steam cloud, and in game DLC.
