Ah, well. Best of luck with your other efforts though.

Quoting: CheesenessSteam's DRM is insidiously seductive - it comes alongside features and services that gamers embrace, and it can be very easy to overlook. Like all account based DRM/subscription systems, it can be very easy to lose access to your games, and it seems that many remain unaware of the potential pitfalls (which is never a good thing).Personally what annoys me more is not users being seduced but developers. I would not have a big beef with Steamworks and the like if developers still put out non-Steam versions for those of us that find the "pitfalls" unacceptable.

Other than easily accessible data and Steamworks integration (if that is what you are into) I wonder how this truly scales up to the likes of EDuke32.

I am not actually all that thrilled by this, to be honest. Desura's Alpha Funding program looked to be doing quite well for them recently, and Desura needs the attention a lot more than Valve does. Desura's program does still looks to be a lot more appealing to new or smaller developers than Valve's does though.

Latest word from RuneSoft on when the game will be publicly available on Desura:
Yea, we are still working on it and there is already a private beta running (via desura). Just not yet for the public. :)
The Humble Weekly Sale

Quoting: muntdefemsPlus, I regard these Humble Weekly Sales as an opportunity to snatch games from bundles I didn't got (because I'm assuming they'll feature games from past bundles, at least by now).That is actually an interesting point there. Might be a way of grabbing certain things I have missed. I already have Bastion though... :|

Just to point out, when I say free software, it is because I read Stallman's essays people. ;)

Is it going to be free software? I honestly do not see the point in promoting an alternative piece of software to one that already works well for me and is free software anyway (which is definitely the best thing for a utility like this).
