Doesn't Slitherine/Matrix still offer non-Steam versions of their games with just serial install keys? Why not just offer that version of Shock Force 2 and wait for the Steam version to come online later? I haven't bought games on Slitherine/Matrix in a while, so the serial key versions might not even be available any more.
looks like they released a day early
going to be interesting to see if Slitherine is going to completely handle the steam side of things, per skimming the battlefront forums seems like none of the devs are too keen on steam
per Battlefront: "The first and most important reason is that GOG does not allow copy protection. That means our games can be freely copied by anybody and everybody. It takes only one person, just one, to buy from GOG and post it to a download site. One. And once it's up there it's up there for good. We'd likely be out of business soon after."Battlefront is so bad that they think Steam is practically DRM-free pirating. And they won't even contemplate the idea of gog. Their concepts on copy protection are so buttfuck paranoid I'm surprised they're not demanding to only sell the game through an NSA firewall hidden behind 5 different VPNs and an airport body scanner.
Sadly there is nothing else on the market right now and almost nothing on the horizon.

Graviteam Tactics? Armored Brigade?
Different games, not turn based and with no multiplayer.
