Have there been any developments in getting King's Bounty on Steam? I know the 1C publishing games don't tend to be sold on Steam, but Paradox Interactive did bring over their HOI and Europa series over to Steam recently, so Steam might be a bit more acceptive of some of these kinds of titles now.
It'd be good extra advertising for KB just to be on steam's front page of new releases for a while and the price of KB is quite low now that it'll attract some of the impulse shoppers on Steam that look for deals.
And the community of the KB is pretty good-natured overall, and the game is done well so it'd be probably be received positively at the Steam community.
And if Steam says it's up to the publishers to decide the price of games, if any publisher starts to offer a lower euro-charge to European customers, they'd probably get a bit of a positive reputation on there too, as right now a lot of Europeans are unhappy with the currency pricing conversion of most/all steam games of $1 = 1euro policy. But if someone starts pricing $9.99 US and 7.99Euro you kind start to get seen as a 'good guy' or a 'reasonable company'.
