Retail Mafia II will install and play with steam, won't it? If you bothered to actually click the link, you'd see it's the PS3 version. [/quote] Actually Steamworks is now on the ps3 too. ;)

I suppose a steam emulator would be helpful here. ;)

I would add Master Verga froim Elemental.
WOW, I'm not in the Beta, so I didnt know this. [e digicons]:D[/e] Maybe this will make Elemental very popular in spanish speaking countries!!
[quote who="Nesrie" reply="111" id="2687802"]Neither one of you gets the point so here it is. The point is people who are introduced to D2D first will also be introduced to Steam for the first time. This is not a good thing for D2D. Their move is short-sighted and counter productive to their own service. You cannot forget that the majority of gamers do not use digital services of any kind, still. There are still many, many gamers being introduced to these services for the first time each day.
[quote who="Guest83" reply="99" id="2687218"] Quoting ZehDon, reply 98 How long before Steam is pre-installed on new machines, much like Windows is? On some PCs it already is: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/61378 [/quote] That really sucks. Soon Steam will be an essential windows component and will be enabled on new computers.

If D2D doesn't offer Steam games, all the more reason not to ever check D2D. There is no "win" situation for them in the long term. They either take short term profits, or no profits at all. You have some stats to back up your claim there
[quote who="DeCypher00" reply="103" id="2687519"] Quoting coreimpulse, reply 102 Isn't that precisely taking a very short term profit for big long term losses like having the newly installed Steam client offering the D2D customer 15 sales a day, most of them being better than those from D2D? This isn't some fantasy world where there are people who use D2D and have never heard of Steam. If D2D doesn't offer Steam games, all the more

[quote who="Rebell44" reply="97" id="2687078"] Quoting ZehDon, reply 96 Every customer of D2D who purchases a Steamworks title is a customer that has more of a chance of spending money on Steam than on D2D. While that is true, if you dont offer such game, customer simply will have to buy from Steam. Only difference is that "you" wont get even short term profit selling that game. [/quote] Isn't that precisely taking
Customer demand is the reason the CEO of D2D provides for selling Modern Warfare 2 on D2D. Well, if this trend continues, and more and more titles are steamworks enabled, I don't see much of a future for D2D.
The problem is the people that shell out to get map pack #476 for CoD like blind sheep. Until people keep devouring anything they get thrown at, the industry will keep making it.
No, bioshock was a cheap rippoff of system shock 2, stupified for the console crowd.

[quote who="larrypeters" reply="88" id="2680148"] Quoting Polynomial, reply 83 A lot of you act like there's other dev studios out there that can pump out titles with more production values than Bioware treating them like some third rate developer. You keep generalizing their games. When it gets to actually playing their games, the critical success of Bioware games speak for themselves. FWIW, I've stated a few times on my blog that Bioware is my fa
