You know, sometimes I'm glad I'm not in the computer game industry. Having a publisher the rights on a game you work so hard. And you know that this games pushes the level on game design. And you know that this new games will be in the history book of game development. Have the publisher sit on the game for something you said. That's crap.

They can deliver their product to their devoted costumers with out the need of a publisher. Valve is even willing to risk having the key crack by a teen.

I guess will wait to see how this "Steam" works out.
