Should I buy direct or through Steam?

I read that there are different issues based on Steam version or direct version.  Steam version with performance and direct version with slow patching.  Can somone elighten me a bit so I can make a good decision. 

Now Playing: DARKFALL Unholy Wars "Return to Open World, Full Loot PvP, Conquest in a Sandbox MMO with player driven economy! Just like classic MMOs!"

    I cant say either way because i purchased directly from DFUW website. I see a lot of players ingame complaining about some type of steam overlay issue regarding random keys taking screen shots when they arent supposed to. Apparently this hitches your game for a sec or two and that can be a bad thing at the wrong time in DFUW.

    Having said that, Steam is an excellent service and i use it with many games. Good luck.

     

    P.S. (edit)

    Make sure you buy this game immediately! Give it time and you'll see why.

    I don't play Darkfall but as a Steam user I can say that all of the keys can be changed. I personally disabled the overlay for the better part of a year before turning it back on recently.

    Be sure to let us know what you think of it.

    Many MMOs bought through steam can simply be downloaded or run without Steam.  Since the game account would still be through a key registered with the game company, you can download their standalone client if you wish keeping the steam entry and bonuses.
