Purchase Places

Are there any plans to bring FHM7 to any other storefronts.

I prefer to have my games on something like Steam/Epic/GOG where I can just download them with ease and not have to worry about remembering where I brought them from or trying to find an activation code.

I know previous versions have been on Steam but their sales cuts usually have me searching elsewhere first to try support the developers to get more. With a fastspring price of £31.68 (presuming thats the same price on Steam), £9.50 of each sale is just gone

Fastspring is us selling our own game. It's the way we get the most bang for your buck if that's what you're worried about.

Don't feel bad about buying the game on Steam, though. Steam takes a bigger cut, but selling well there also means Steam pushes your game more aggressively in places like the Discovery Queue, front page advertising, and so on. So we do get a lot of invaluable additional promotion in return for the money they get from the sale.

Is buying from Steam or FastSpring better in other ways?
Are they equal?
Are there advantages or disadvantages to one or the other?

Same game, one is for Steam and one isn't. The non Steam version has to be manually updated, but that's about the only difference.
