This was not the case. To reiterate... To the best of my understanding there is no long-term strategy for involvement with Steam whatsoever, other than "it would be cool, eh?" which is no strategy at all. Hence any voting or similar activities, in my opinion, make very little sense, until this conversation is reasonably formalized, with advantages and disadvantages listed to be judged on. I've witnessed at least three IRC discussions on the topic and they never led to any decisions, just a lot of hot air, and man/hours wasted. Secondly, during the first discussion mitch and a couple of other core team members (my definition of "core team member" is subjective and should by no means be understood as belittling anyone's involvement, i don't consider myself to be one, just in case) expressed disagreement with an idea that supporting Steam is a good idea -- or this is how _I_ personally understood that. This is exactly what I was referring to in my email. No more, no less. TL;DR: there is no consensus on Steam yet.
