One thing I did notice is that this guy didn't mention GoG as a distribution platform. Perhaps he should look into it (or actually get his partner to look into it since he's actually since sold his stake to him and left the business).

true, only mentions Desura and Humble

If nothing else, this is another shining example of how so many game developers are ****awful businessmen.  Like, they have to warn you against this **** on the very first day of Business 101.  The guy was a dumbass, and I have absolutely no sympathy for him.

If he really wanted to express his anger, he should have said something like "I'm going to bake Gabe Newell a slightly overcooked cake." which makes him look like a bad cook (while he's really plotting to destroy Gaben from the inside out)

Steam a monopoly? We have plenty of competitors. Such as the much feared Origin.

Actually Origin isn't a competitor because its such a piece of crap.

While Steam is technically not a monopoly, Microsoft wasnt technically a monopoly in the 90's.  but when the power held is such that they might as well be a monopoly the distinction is rarely more than academic.

* -Joshua- acctually had more positive experiences with origin then steam :unsure:

that said I don't buy much from origin... Don't forget the whole "No steam, no sale!" crowd which, unfortunately, happens to be 90% of the gaming world. Steam exposure is *the* way to get sales.

Totalbiscuit did a video on it a while back (Indiecent exposure)
