Just wondering, is it steam that pushes out the updates? Or do the game still use its own launcher to update the game? The reason am asking, is because i know that some games that is not directly controlled by steam/valve have had their updates been pushed out a little later than if you bought the game from a retailer.

On patch days you will need to rely on cryptic servers still. Usually on big patches Steam gets the new build few days or a week or two later. They dont even update for small patches. At least thats what happened with EvE and Conan. Should be similar.

Okay, good to know. Btw do you know if am able to play the game right now if i buy through steam? Because i live in EU (Norway) and if am not mistaken, the real release date over here is 4 September, or at last that's what gamestop here said.

Edit: I see that D2D have the game as well, what do people here suggest Steam or D2D?

Just bought the game through D2D, got my cdkey right away, so am happy so far.

Crappy? As long as i get my cdkey i have no problem, because after that Cryptic is the one that runs the show i guess, since i use their client to play/update the game.
