I tried to install from the dev’s site last year, but was told I was lacking some critical file it needed to run. Googled it up and it was hard to tell where the file was supposed to come from, or where I could get a clean, legit copy. :S
Not sure if these are available near you but you might be able to find some steam wallet cards in stores that sell giftcards. You’d then be able to add funds to steam without using a credit card.
Ironvest.com (neeblur.com, neeabine.com) also provides a “masked card” service (which can be independently useful, as it can have a bogus name and address, useful if you don’t want someone harvesting that). Used to be with cash payments that vendors couldn’t build that kind of database. That being said, they charge an annual fee for their service, and your bank may provide free temporary numbers. And not every vendor will accept their masked cards (or those prepaid cards from stores), I assume because those vendors want to link them to your identity. There are legit reasons for vendors to want to do that, like to reduce fraud, but if you don’t want your name in vendor databases, it’s a way to avoid it.

I was hoping that this release includes achievements, but I don’t see them mentioned. Anyone got an update on that front?
Hooray! Time to die horribly!
Dying horribly is fun!

I think it was an MS file, FWIW.
The free version is out of date because they’ve been putting all of their effort into the steam version. It’s with every penny.
This is probably going to sound lame as hell, but I’m that type of caveman who hates giving out their CC# online. Any advice?
Is your concern that Steam might be compromised? If you’re willing to trust PayPal, they’ll use them as a payment processor.
TBH, I’m just a scared idiot.
One of my friends is a Pulitzer-nominated dude whose CC got hacked, or whatever it was.

Look at your banks and credit cards features. Some of them have virtual cards that you can use. They’re temporary numbers you can use to buy things.

The free version is up-to-date and is the same game mostly.
Good to know. I thought it was behind on features.
Did they ever restore the old event list or is it still the mostly useless currated list that the steam version launched with?
I can’t speak to what it was like pre steam, but they have updated it in the past to be much better. It’s in the patch notes somewhere.
