Eidos goes Steam

Meh.

I'd actually be interested in seeing what the revenue agreements are like.

Why? Thats between Valve and Eidos, that ony thing that really matters is that we can now get a better varity of games from steam, which is like fucking great

1) I don't buy jack shit from Steam

2) I find the contracts a lot more interesting because I want to know how much Valve is getting out of this and how much the original publisher is getting out of it.

Agreed....esp on #2.

Hmm, CJ'll be interested about finally being able to get Blood Money over Steam... his Special Edition never arrived... :P:P

Zacker (and who ever else works at IO): Will Kane and Lynch be released at Steam as well?

cant tell yet my first work day is gonna be tomorrow

You probably can't tell anyway, silly NDAs

that is true i didn't want to write that though because it would have made posting my above comment useless ... and i kinda felt like telling people

*iamsuchanattentionwhore*

boring

It's nice to see new games on Steam. Hopefully someday these kinds of games will be there on day 1.

It's a good thing in many ways, accessibility makes folks more likely to buy games on a whim, which is good for the industry. However I still want boxed stuff to put on my bookcase of games on the wall. Looks way cooler when me mates come round

It's nice that they've done it, but they've missed lots of their best games (Deus Ex and Thief being the obvious ones).

In a perfect world they'd have all owned the retail version

That's not all what Eidos is adding to Steam. We'll see more from them very soon.

1) You don't know what you're missing

2) By looking at the (long) list of developers who sell on steam i would say its a good deal for both parts, or else there wouldn't be so many:

Still i don't think we should worry about how much money they are making, i personally don't, i just care about the quality of their games.
