KSP On Steam Question

[SYDWAD]

(brief) Discount on steam for direct buyers?

Quite some time ago i bought KSP but it was direct, but now due to having to download the whole thing every time an update comes out (update might just not work for me) and having to constantly watch my mods so they stay up to date, i just want to buy it on steam.
I know they no longer hand out steam versions due to it costing money on their side but could there be a discount for people who have bought it that would equal the cost on Squad's side for giving it away? Either by buying a code from the steam web page or some form of discount. I'd be willing to pay a bit more for a steam version.

If im missing some fundamental detail for why this isn't a thing please tell.

Considering it's on sale on Steam right now for $15.99, not sure you'll do any better with a discount.

Think of it as a tip?

They may not even get a discount. I don't know.

You still have to do that with the Steam version.
