any plans for, or is it going to be possible in the future, to be able to get this game direct from tripwire or from other download retailers in a version without steam?
Why such a need for a non-steam version? Many people ask for non-steam versions of games, but why won't you use steam?
Tripwire's games have always been Steam only, and I don't see them starting with Dwarfs.
E.g. The Ball was available through other shops and completely w/o DRM too! That would be nice!

Steam is not a bad thing, it's a very good thing. Gabe made a smart move when he tought about Steam.
I have absolutely no issues with Steam besides Gabe's stupid 1 US$ = 1
Thats not up to Gabe, e.g. Tripwire hasnt got a straight conversion, its up to the publisher and voluntary.
But it would be really nice to see Dwarfs!? sold somewhere else too and without DRM would be great!
Unfortunately, I'm sure you know what happens to DRM-free games these days.

While it would be fun to have a Steamless release, and even a Mac / Linux release, we have to put things against each other! Both these things would require a lot of work. It's not that we don't want to do that work, it's just, what could we do in that time?
At the moment we feel that making those who have bought it on Steam happy with free additional content, quick fixes and so forth is of higher priority than making ports!
I wish I could just clone myself but from what I found on google that technology doesn't seem to be quite ready yet

edit: weird, what happened to my previous post?

It has nothing to do with pirates. The hard thing is that we developed the game with steam support. Ripping it out will disable leader boards and other features. We felt that selling a less worthy copy is sort of a crime. But there is a version in production that might give the game a version without steam and mac support. But we don't want to talk to much about it before we know if it will work out and make it to the market. But there is somthing coming and I will have this in mind
