At one time it would've been, but now it's the norm, for better or for worse. And you've got to bear in mind that developers choose to make their deals with Valve. They think Steam can help them turn a profit out of games that we otherwise wouldn't get to see.
In other words, if a developer signs a ballbusting contract with Steam, it's becaue they had no choice. I'd rather get to play the game on Steam than not at all, and I'd rather the devs made a profit reduced by the surely massive comission Steam takes than no profit at all.
Also, do you think we can expand this thread to just F2P games in general? I want to talk about World of Tanks. |
Oh well.. i never said Id never buy a steam game ever again
I really like steam, and I think its features are very convenient.
I just wanna buy from somewhere else first if possible. If not, then steam it is.
Anyway yes. I suppose we can make this a general F2P thread... It's what it seems to be anyway.
That said, I think Im gonna give Dungeons and Dragons online a go too. It seems fun, and I LOVE the fact that it's not just a button/key-binding spam mmo. It's an fps rpg thingy, and the gameplay seems fun. So Ima try it
Also, Im finding Spiral knights so much fun still. ^^ Such a great pass-time.
