b) Revenue. The share of money going directly to the studio when distributing over steam is larger then the share they see from conventional publishing.

Other then that it's just practical because of autopatch and the integrated and perfectly good MP system that devs get for their game for free when using steam.

haha yes, thank you, thanks for confirming it can be installed by DVD then patched via Steam, that is a BIG weight off my mind and i feel much happier

Yeah im not a Steam hater, i know they exist tho, lol.

If i wrote a game, i would want to distribute via steam too, so much easier for the developers. and i can sit here being lazy in my chair without going out to the shops. lol.

My next task tho is to find somewhere that sells it on DVD lol.
