Why is the Steam version more expensive than the version from Fantasy Grounds? Steam has instructions for how to activate a Fantasy Grounds website purchase on Steam. Why are they selling a version that's more expensive? Is that just their markup?

Steam does take a cut, but I've never heard of there being a mark-up (Smiteworks just gets short changed in the deal). The only reason to buy from Steam in my experience is if you are an international customer and their regional pricing is advantageous compared to a direct currency conversion and buying direct from Smiteworks. I've never heard of the Steam regional pricing being worse, but I guess it is possible. In that case there is no reason to buy from Steam, because as you said, you can always register your license with them later if you wanted (though there really isn't a reason to).
Welcome :)
If you are comparing apples to apples, it should not be.
