1) Most people here prefer server games (basically pbem over the Slitherine server, you can't reload a save undetected), but some still play PbeM.
2) Balance is of course permanent subject to debate but overall yes, game settings and house rules allow a wide range of adjustements.
The point about buying at Matrix (or boxed versions from retailers) is you get the Matrix version AND can register your game at Steam for free.
Automatic updates might be nice but there are cases where you want to keep a certain version (or multiple installs with different versions) for ongoing games.
If you buy at Steam you only have the Steam version.
