[QUOTE=MacD11;26287169]....get steam to publish it.[/QUOTE]
Because they can just leave their current publisher, right?
(Hint: Wrong.)

what did they do cos I don't pay attention to this stuff
[QUOTE=s0m3_guy;26287779]I realized thq were total dickfaced scum after what they did with gsc[/QUOTE]
What did they do with GSC?
Also, isn't THQ bringing games on PC that require Steam (example being Dawn of War 2)? Wouldn't they at least then know that Steam is a great market for download-only games on PC?

THQ would be the ones putting the games up on steam.
Tim, I love you forever for Grim Fandango, but this disappoints me. Have some courage in your art not to founder about weakly blaming funding.
I love RPS

But they're not going to obviously. So says the article.

I don't know what that has to do with anything.

Infinity Ward left its publisher and went solo on that game IIRC.
Wasn't CoD always activision?

They left after Activision (illegally AFAIK) interrogated and threatened the owners of IW, but that was after they released MW2.
Ohhhhhh, no FINANCIAL REWARD? Never mind the [i]huge[/i] profit margins with downloadable games and all
Double Fine are the guys that made Costume Quest, right? I freakin' love that game!

I think they forced GSC to release Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl unfinished(Or early). Judging from the Beta's they had a lot planned, and it was gonna be one hell of a game if it was finished.

It was a hell of a game regardless.
Half-Life 2: Episode 3
"One of the best console exclusives of the year!"

uh judging by the fact that as a publisher THQ is definitely in the top 5 as far as games in the steam store, I find it hard to believe it's their fault.
[QUOTE=ASmellyOgreV2;26301441]Infinity Ward left its publisher and went solo on that game IIRC.[/QUOTE]
Infinity ward didn't leave, Individuals quit Infinity ward and started their own studio. There is a difference.
