A new Sonic game in an immense world with serene instrumental music, where getting gold rings causes you to crash, and the spinning animations are just god awful... Just use the Sonic the Hedgehog Imagination Toolkit as well to totally customize your Sonic experience! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etempest Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 That would be an awful idea. Valve, a company that can't get their games out on time, combined with Bethesda, a company that can never deliver a game without major bugs in it. Sounds like a match made in hell. Yet, there games can be so good, most people are willing to overlook that. But agree, look at the pc mod's which are nothing more then "unofficial" patches for Morrowind & Oblivion :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miuku. Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Gabe and the boys will sell for suitable amount of dosh, if you guys have some delusions about them having some agenda other than making themselves rich, the answer is no. They're a business and their only interest is to maximize profits, I think their Steam regional pricing has already shown this to be true, except for the die hard tunnel vision fans who still cling to some non-existant belief.

You're not getting a physical disk, box, manual or the extras so you'd think it'd be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they'd finish them more consistently. *cough* HL3:E3 *cough* :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strekship Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thats the problem, same prices. You're not getting a physical disk, box, manual or the extras so you'd think it'd be cheaper. Last time i bought a game in the sore all it came with was a box and a cd in a paper wrapper. It seems that these days a lot of companies are skimping on costs by sticking the manual in a pdf on the disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosslover Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thats the problem, same prices. You're not getting a physical disk, box, manual or the extras so you'd think it'd be cheaper. yeah that's my main problem with steam. If the purpose of steam was originally suppose to lower costs to the developers by eliminating the publisher, then why aren't some of those cost savings being passed to the consumer. I'm not against a company making profit, but if you normally charge $50 for a game under a publisher...but charge $50 for the same game without the publisher on steam, with no box etc like you said..then it sounds like the consumer is getting ripped off somewhere. Publisher greed has just been replaced by developer greed. Given the choice between buying a steam version or boxed for the same price, i'm 100% always going to chose the boxed version..but if it was like a $50/$30 price difference then that's enough to make me consider not having a box, manual and what not.

mounty Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I've always found most of the games listed on Steam in GBP were well over the store price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Star Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Not happening. Valve and Steam combined are becoming really big in the gaming industry, so why would they need to sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_c_b Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't think this is likely, but never say never. It is possible that Zen would buy Valve and make Steam a seperate company, thus settling any questions of conflict of interest. One never knows.
