Yes it does TG. Their practical giving SHV away!

I hope you don't mind me using your "getting Steamed" phrase. I read it the other day and think that's exactly what folks are getting when using Steams download service.

The problem with using some of these download sites is they put a proprietary download out for sale. What this seems to do is cause a purchaser to only upgrade their downloaded game through their site. For those that purchase a Steam version of SH4 (which is documented to be version 1.3), you'll have to buy, through Steam, any update, like version 1.5 the U-Boat Missions Add-on. I've heard that trying to patch Steam's 1.3 version of the game with version 1.4 won't work. You're forced to update to Steam's version 1.5 U-Boat Mission Add-on just to get rid of the version 1.3 that it original sells!! It's my opinion, its not worth the inexpensive price of a download if your held hostage to their site.
