Steam sucks.
But to address the actual original question it is extremely doubtful it will be offered as a download (there's a reason why we went all out with the manual, after all), but if it ever was offered as a download it wouldn't be with another company, but direct from us.
And if your friends are balking at the $54 cost there are a couple things to bring up:
1. You can play the game daily for years and still discover things. Ask anyone who's been playing since release day one. Therefore the cost to fun ratio is extremely high.
2. $54 gets you what, about a tank and a half of gas? A week's worth of groceries for one person? Five days of lunch? What's going to last longer, everything I just listed or the game?
3. You can spend $60 on a console game that has six hours of gameplay.
It should also be noted that periodically we offer sales, and if your friends are by any chance university students or in the military, we offer a discount program for students and military personnel. Details can be found on the store site, look for the "Savings for Scholars and Soldiers" link on the bottom left.

I've linked em all to the demo.. Again they cant get past the price. And really i find the demo pretty underwhelming it gives you basic idea about the game play but doesnt let a person truely appreciate the variety of nations and strategy not to mention mods .And all thats very important considering the lack luster graphics .
People have limited funds for entertainment products . 60 dollars for an indy game is a pretty big investment ..And the people im talking to arent big console gamers and most assuredly not the kind that drop 60dollars for a shooter that'll last em one day.. Not to mention PC games are usually cheaper than console ones so not even a good comparison.
So just curious if there are any plans about a price cut.
