Oh I like gamersgate, but I'm saying moreso it'd be beneficial for King's Bounty (and it's developers/community) to be available on Steam to boost it's popularity, gain some extra sales in the process, and grow a bigger community if it was offered on Steam. It's not a gamersgate vs. steam vs. other download service issues, it's more of, why not get the extra exposure for King's Bounty.
There's a lot of prospective clients on Steam that don't use other download services and it's free front-page advertising for newly listed Steam games. It usually doesn't make sense to ignore one of the most popular direct download services. Even if it debuted as a weekend deal at 9.99 and higher otherwise it'd still be good exposure.
Granted it would probably be better to gain the extra publicity & advertising closer to the expansion pack release date. Right now let Gamersgate get the majority of sales at 9.99, but in a few weeks/months when those dry up, it'd be good to advertise to other prospective customers (steam).
