Meh.

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

[BaRRaKID]

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

[Fletch]

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?

[Warby]

[Warby]

All publishing related agreements concerning IO games are handled exclusively by Eidos.

That's about how much I can say...

I am looking forward to that you start Warby, always good with more talented level designers.

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

[SnipaMasta]

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).
