From UK PCGamer mag:

"In an effort to stop the nonsense spreading, here's a little
clarification on some of the choicer distortions - Aftermath will be in
the shops - Uh no, it's 100% Steam"

I'll wait to see what Valve say...

You don't think it might be better if you worked your way toward lion
taming, say, via banking...

Yeah - but does that include Aftermath? I suppose that will depend on
how large the expansion is.
