I'd been avoiding reading this thread for quite some time, because I was pretty sure I knew what was going on inside it, who was involved, and the tone of it. Good to see I wasn't wrong! [:D]

You knew that I would take a position, "Stop harping on about Steam and trust in Erik's judgment"?

Ok, I'm locking this one up.

Kayoz, I appreciate that you helped people find past comments related to this topic. However, while you are clearly intelligent, as always more civility on your part would be appreciated both by us and other forum posters. Our goal here is to make this forum a friendly place for both newcomers to DW as well as veterans. These kinds of questions will continue to come up periodically and I understand why folks come back to them.

For the record, as I noted earlier we are very open-minded about how to make Distant Worlds as successful as possible. As the publisher, we have explored other distribution options and that does include Steam (not just for this game but for other games as well). It's not the slam dunk for DW that it may appear to be at first glance, but it is an option we will keep evaluating and that door is not closed for the future. We'll always do whatever it takes to maximize the success of Distant Worlds - each decision we make is based on the evaluation of what will give it the greatest success now and in the future.

Regards,

- Erik
