QuoteDungeons of Dredmor to be released through Steam on July 13, 2011

Gaslamp Games is proud to announce that we have partnered with Valve to release Dungeons of Dredmor on the Steam platform for the exceptional price of $4.99 on Wednesday, July 13th. Gaslamp Games is dedicated to providing classic dungeon crawling adventure in the spirit of classic roguelikes to both seasoned and casual players alike.
“Our business acumen department has been hard at work within our underground lava-fortress for the last several weeks devising a distribution system for our product, pushing tiny models of software packages and legendary beasts around a map of the middle planes with wooden dowels,” said Gaslamp’s Daniel Jacobsen. “However, after the tragic death of the Last Gryphon at the hands of the overzealous Gnomish Flying Couriers, we decided that we needed a more proven content delivery system.”
Dungeons of Dredmor will be available through the Steam distribution network in both Windows and OS X flavors.

Complaining about problems with electronic commerce being the problem with regards to Loki seems to be laughable to me; the main problem as far as I could tell based on what I have read and what guys like icculus in the past have said seem to indicate a large part of the problem with ventures like Loki or LGP was that they inherently were too based on on traditional shrink-wrapper physical publishing. Like when they ordered way too many units of a supposedly "special edition" of Quake III Arena which they were never able to fully ship. Granted, back in the days of Loki it would be insane to expect anyone to download a full game reliably (though Loki still complained about piracy, hmm...). A good example of where icculus commented on this was his SouthEast LinuxFest talk in 2009:

Granted of course, that aside was coming from a former employee, so what do I know?

Your links don't work. :(

As for Loki, it was already gone before I even discovered GNU/Linux. :/

I think Loki was shutting down as i was getting into Loki. I think digital really is the way to go, it's cheaper and easier to do. I wish Loki was still around as LGP is a bit of a letdown really - "hey we are working on something"....many moons later and nothing :/

Back on topic - To the developers if you read this topic again, I hope you bring it to Desura and the Ubuntu Software Centre, both would increase your popularity on Linux.
