PoLiX Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Has anyone else noticed lately how many games are now on steam? I guess Valve must have be doing something right. Sometimes I wish there was a way to get Continuum on there, but they just don't like the whole legality mess of it all. Or didn't when I tried a few years ago. And then now we have no more updates in sight, if ever again, no way we could get it setup to work with Continuum. Even trying to load continuum through Steam as an add-on game just causes it to not load or crash steam for most people... Oh well. Now to play some Team Fortress...
BlueGoku Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Yeah, even EA got in on it and they've got their own e-store. Would be great to get Cont on there somehow, but we'd need some pretty big updates to the game engine and I doubt Priit is up to it.
Cancer+ Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Has anyone talked to the owners or the people who put games up on Steam? I'm sure there is a fee to put them on there. Lets start there. Has anyone talked to the people who put the games on steam?
PoLiX Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Posted December 23, 2008 I have contacted steam about it before, and it has to be authorized by the developer. Even if they ignored the fact BDE owns Subspace and Continuum is a clone of it, PriitK would have to come forth and make modifications and be the main point of contact with them. And as I've said before, I'm sure this hasn't changed.
Cancer+ Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 That's a start. Have you contacted Ghost Ship about this? (I'm sure you have...for documentation)
PoLiX Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Posted December 23, 2008 I think it came up in one of the phone conversations we had during the .39 beta and .40 release discussions. Lately we haven't talked much beyond playing tag about the scores websites and stuff. I'll tell him to read this.
Cancer+ Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Because I don't see WHY Steam wouldn't put Continuum on there website. It's not like it would ruin their reputation.
»Lynx Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 It would be good if it could happen, but as PoLiX said: * Continuum is a clone of Subspace, albeit a better one, and BDE owns Subspace which makes legal negotiations hard. * PriitK would need to actively develop Continuum (and get it running on Steam), and that's not happening. Oh well, sucks. -L
Cancer+ Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 I think the latter trumps the former.
