I was trying to post a reply earlier but this site appeared to be down for a while..
I think MightyGitis has already answered your question in the thread, sorry I wasn't sure what it was you meant exactly
I use Steam but didn't buy any content from Steam. I use the free download from the DI site (I have v1 installed as well) and across three accounts for use on PC I have a mix of characters I bought from the DI online store and web and playset and character codes I bought on Ebay. The PC version needs powerful hardware though as it's not optimised at all. And no doubt the new iOS client (Jan 29th) will require a latest gen iPad.
Anyway my kids enjoy the game... Hiro on one account can ride Baymax on the other and we have playsets for both v1 & 2.0
