You still can play... but I guess that you encounter payment issue.

Re: Steam?

The reason its not on Steam is there is no value to a dev anymore to use Steam.  I don't have the exact numbers but I think Steam takes 60% of the retail price, so the
dev makes less than 1/2 and also you would say, well it will sell more cause its on Steam.  That use to be the case, but with 10 new games or more per day popping up,
if people don't notice it launch then it just falls off the charts and drags the game's ratings down, its a slippery slope.  So for now, its just through the main website its sold.

Re: Steam?

Steam takes a big cut of 30%.

Never mind how Steam as a platform doesn't really square with what Jason has done here: no copyrighting, open source access, and three installers for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Plus, the OneHOL website serves as a hub for the forums, dev. updates, the Wiki, etc.

I wonder if part of the reason people insist on keeping all their games tied to one account of a game distribution website, is that they haven't learned to use password managers??
Or how to use bookmarks?? It can't be that burdensome to have a game installer on another website that isn't Steam or GOG.
