Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I just really want to find out as much as possible so we can try and work out a solution that keeps as many players as possible happy.

We will investigate further if it's possible to maintain a non-steam version that still works yet doesn't take up our entire lives to maintain, I suspect if it is doable the tradeoff is that multiplayer might not be workable in that version

If multiplayer is the only tradeoff I'm completely fine with that.

Out of interest, why would you not want to open an account there? Quite a few people seem less willing to create a Steam account than an Automation account and I'd like to know why.
