I got into the closed beta. Pretty much agree exactly with what the article said. It's great for mods but completely pointless for games because it's almost identical to Steam, except worse. I think they should strike a deal with Valve and just fully integrate it into Steam for the best of both worlds.
There was something like this a few years back, only no one had heard of it and it disappeared, vapor-something
Wow, it does look so much like Steam.
I think that there's a point to it looking like Steam. I'll speculate that Steam users probably make a large portion of their user-base, so they want them to feel comfortable.
[quote]and there’s no option to reopen the download progress window if you close it.[/quote] You just double click the game/mod? Works for me anyways. I've been in the closed beta ever since the start, and I still like it so far. No games out there to use the Desura SDK afaik, but it works really well, with what few games and mods there are out there on the platform so far.
