Well this is a case of him yet again not doing his research, after all he said 0 A.D is made by wolfire the other day in his article...

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.

Ah so they are taking a hint from Steel Storm, quite interesting to see another indie do this! Pretty cool actually :D

Looks like i will be buying via Steam then, makes me a happy Steam user heh best of both worlds cannot ask for more really.

I read their DRM blog bit in the FAQ and i agree completely with what they are saying. Paypal have frozen accounts for me before, so i refuse to use them!

Should be good once they add in more community options like chat, friends list etc, that really is what makes Steam so good.

Yeah i had a look at that today, looks to be a very good service, could do very well if it pays off since it allows .deb .rpm and tarballs (tarballs being my favourite as i can then store the games wherever i want!).

Yeah that is true there is that, they will also auto-update for you. It's more of a convenience thing.

Hamish - Prepare to be dissapointed. Your question was answered in the next coming parts.

Troy - Steam for me is all about automatic updates without setting up repositories, about having the friends list communication, if i play a game they can see and join me. Steam does a lot of sales too, easy to pick up cheap games, etc etc.

I hope Desura can fill the void eventually.
