Steam version of the game - questions

So I'd like to run PoE through Steam, my questions:

1. Do I have to uninstall PoE?
2. I'd like to buy GGGold through this website and not through Steam (so Valve doesn't get a cut), will it be possible if I run PoE solely through Steam?
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
bumpo desu~

1. Probably
2. Yes, like with other steam f2p's

1. No, you can keep the old installer.
2. Yes, but bear in mind that this way you can't get Steam Trading Cards. (ofc matters only if you care about them)

No you won't have to uninstall your current poe, but when you install it in steam you'll have basically 2 copies. The one you use now and the one that goes through steam, so kinda pointless to have both.

Yes nothing is stopping you from buying from GGG directly, you won't be eligible for steam trading cards this way, but GGG will get 100% of the money.
No steam pre-install up yet?
Steam has trading cards now? Didn't know that. What can you do with them?

Once you’ve collected a set of cards you can craft them into a game badge. Like the current badges, they are tied to your account and are shown on your profile. Unlike the current badges, crafting game badges earns you marketable items like emoticons, profile backgrounds, and coupons. Level up your badge by collecting the set again and earning more items.


So long story short you can craft badges and this process could yield to stuff such as Path of Exile Wallpapers which you could display as your profile background.

I got another question:


If i install the Steamversion, will the update and future updates run from the steam servers (very fast for me), or redirect to the path of exile servers (not that fast) anyway?
thank you
