sorophx Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 nobody's forcing us to buy turds on Steam, though. it's already beyond the point of no return in terms of filtering out bad games. at least this way good games will get on Steam a lot faster.

Lexx Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Really depends on the price. If it's too high, it could as well be a blockage for smaller teams, if it's too low, it means nothing (isn't it already $100 right now for Greenlight?).

Bartimaeus Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Gosh, Steam has turned into such a garbagehole over the last 5-7 years...there was this little short golden age after they opened up the store to the halfway decent publishers and SOME indies, and then they stopped trying at all after that... I never open the store anymore unless I already know what I want to look at or buy. The store has become utterly useless for discovering things I might be interested in. Ugh. Edited February 10, 2017 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Valve's discovery updates have done nothing to help this, they revolve entirely around the UI and their joke of a tag system. If it obfuscates 'worthwhile' titles it pretty much has to be worse than merely useless spam. And Valve's answer to it will be the same as Valve's answer to everything, half arsed and minimal effort. You'd think that with their resources they could do some curation given that GOG does it with a tiny fraction of their resources, but I guess with Valve's supposed structure all their curation bods would suddenly decide they really want to work on Ricochet 2 or some VR fad that nobody wants or Steam Machine DOA and forgotten Project 2.0, and then they'd be back at square one. That's the problem with monopoly positions, no actual incentive to fix problems since there's no viable alternative. If too much noise is the problem a moderate fee will do nothing to stop it and it may get even worse, if too many crap games/ games that don't get finished is the problem it won't fix that either and that too may get worse. And if it's a big fee people have to find 5k extra money to enter a system where their game will still be one sardine in a massive school. (Kind of weird though, the 'big change' involving submitters needing to provide bank details and company paperwork before distributing on Steam. I'm not an accountant and a mere layman in such matters, but I would have thought you'd already need to provide such details before publishing on steam...)

sorophx Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 that's the whole point, I think. since you need this stuff to publish your game on Steam after passing Greenlight, the logical next step is to remove Greenlight altogether, and instead of making people pay 100 dollars for a chance to be offered a publishing deal make people pay for their game to be published.

sorophx Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 [...] Whether it's e-mail, phone, forums, or the release and genre lists at a online stores. to be honest, I stopped browsing lists on Steam a long time ago, I only ever load Steam's store to see if stuff on my wishlist is on sale. I could see how some people would be annoyed by having too much schlock to go through while looking for something to buy, but with GOG, Humble Bundle, and other online platforms for buying games I don't think anyone really needs Steam or even should use Steam at all (especially since buying from developers directly, even if they give you a Steam key, means Steam doesn't get its usual cut) Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Huinehtar Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I do hope that there are still many people who worked for that project, and will work for other projects at Obsidian. (and for those layoffs, I hope these people will find another job very quickly) I personally was sceptical about AW at first when I heard of it, but later, I viewed that in the same way I did for Steve Jackson Games for instance (not interested in Munchkin, but a fan of GURPS, so I was glad people like Munchkin so SJG could still make GURPS products).

Zoraptor Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hopefully most people can be shifted to the Cain/ Boyarsky project but you'd have to suspect that quite a few won't. AW winding up from an Obsidian perspective can't have been much of a surprise though, and there had already been the earlier reduction in scope. Heh, for the nostalgia...

They certainly should have given a link, but there aren't that many vtmb mods and many of them require the unofficial patch anyway.

Vaeliorin Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 No Bound by flame sequel? Not yet, anyway. I quite liked Bound By Flame, so hopefully we get a sequel eventually. I'd be all for a sequel if they could fix the terribad combat. But I could say that about most of the games Spiders has made. They seem pretty decent in terms of writing (Of Orcs and Men in particularly has pretty good writing. And it gave us Styx ) but the combat is pretty uniformly awful and repetitive. That said, Greedfall looks kind of interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
