Legal Dispute Ended

bless the good powers that be (somewhere) in this world!!!

its over!! VALVe is now (almost) on their own,which hopefully will mean games get cheaper..at the very least its the dawn of a new era for gaming..no publishers/middlemen..
 
Oh sod that! I like my publishers and middlemen, always have.
 
lol publishers will expand..
Maybe publishers will create there own service like steam....
Then developers can use that to distribute there games online..

Don't think there gone...just yet...
 
This also mean that HL2:AM is steam only? I know valve said that, but people were saying that "so and so" said that the game would be boxed. So no box'd version after all?
 
Oh GREAT, so does that mean I can now NOT buy Valve games? Due to some unfortunate relationship split issues, I have no bank account and can't have one for some time. I can't have a credit card, or debit card. So, let's hope at least they have the foresight to found their own DVD production facilities and distribute games normally through the shops where I can at least still practice the illusion of a cash based economy.

/RANT OFF
 
The_Wookie you need to learn to read everything on these fourms,

Just a clarification about "VU Games will cease distribution of retail packaged versions". Does this mean as of August 31 2005 there'll be a new publisher for Valve's titles?

Hi,

We are making arrangements to continue retail distribution of our products post August 31. Should have more details to share soon.

Cheers

I am 32 years old, I stand on my own two feet. One parent is 300 miles away, and the other owns a pub. I can't ask him to use his finances to buy stuff for me otherwise his accountant will have a head fit.

Luckily I have a very understanding employer who pays my wages in cash each week. I find it increasingly irritating that I am getting slowly shut out of the way this country does business.

Sorry to the Admins if I am getting too political, PM me and ask me to stop if I am overstepping the boundaries of the rules.
