Want To See Guy Dressed Up As a Tomato Near Valve’s Office?
October 9th, 2008 by Juuso HietalahtiPosted in Fun Stuff
Group of indie developers have started a petition to get indie games to Steam. The petition is located here. The guy who started all this - Paul - has promised the following:
“If we get 10,000 signatures, I will personally fly out to Valve’s offices and give it to them, while dressed up as a tomato.”
That’s a good reason alone to sign the petition. I’ve just signed the petition and really hope that you’d do that as well. It took me like 8 seconds, so I’m sure that’s not too much to ask: just sign it, please. Can’t wait to see that guy in a tomato suit.
If you happen to have little bit of more time, remember to digg the article as well.

I thought Steam already had a lot of “indie” games? I actually would prefer they keep the standards kind of high. That’s what the guy in charge of Steam told me he wanted to do at the game dev conference, I am too tired to remember the name of it.
Too many crap games would dilute its effectiveness. I’m not saying these games are crap, but they must have been rejected for a reason.

Yaya, steamworks sound pretty impressible. But it is not quite clear how to publish a game inside steam and how much is the cost.
