No. You have to have all DLLs that the game requires in 64 bit. And for example the eSellerate stuff is not available in 64 bit for the PC, so we could not release the game as 64 bit. And having 64 bit for Steam and 32 for eSellerate would require two separate builds, which takes a lot of time when releasing patches, so it was not an option.

Now that we have switched to Fastspring, I am sure we'll switch over to 64 bit for PC too at some point, but again, you will not feel a difference in speed or anything.
