The use of Steam is a surprise, at least to me.

Thanks Ned for updating this. In regards to Steam I dont believe its the only option form what I have read. I dont know much about Steam myself so I could be wrong here.

Steam now-a-days is great, at least client-side anyway. I can see it working well with AA3. I'm looking forward to see how they setup the The Steam achievements. This is what they did for UT3 - link.

Have a look at this guys and be sure to read both pages of the article.
