I have no idea since I don't own CoE3 (EDIT: on Steam), but if it works like that I suppose it might work if you launch the server process from Steam and the other one outside. Provided you can connect to it anyway.

If I may state the obvious, the game is already available on desura for 20 euros.

What could you want more?

Its never ending.
If they get it on Steam with $2.50 sales and all free updates & patches (like Illwinters other game) then they will ask for it to be free, free, free.

I don't know who "they" are, but as far as the MP community goes the reason why "we" would like the game on steam and affordably priced has nothing to do with wanting to buy the game ourselves, we already own the game so it doesn't matter if it's free or whatever.

The reason why "we" want the game on steam is to attract more players to play with, more modders to make mods, more new friends to be friends with and so on. I personally don't care that much, there is lot's of new players already since the desura move and I don't use steam. But more MP players is always nice, and steam availability would probably keep the game alive longer too.

That is true. We would benefit from the influx. Illwinters newer game Conquest of Elysium 3 is on Steam and it has already sold more units than all of the dominions put together. I look forward to the Steaming Horde.

But "keep the game alive longer"? Wow. In the case of Dominions 3 that brings a smile. It is already a surprise to people for maintaining such an active playerbase for so many years. There are not many games in the same class for longevity.
