Telltalegames vs Steam? Purchase

[smashing]

Get it on Telltale. They have terrific after sales support that will offer you prompt assistance if you meet some technical difficulties *heaven forbid*. Besides, you should give the support to the game-making company fully than to the distro.

I really don't see why you should paying anything to Steam, where you are already here and Telltale doing a mighty fine job distributing it themselves.

Same here.

Agreed. The DVD thing is awesome.. kinda kicking myself for getting Sam & Max season one thru Steam... haven't made that mistake for season two or for Monkey Island.

Yeah and you can also download part I (which is also the demo) direct from my site scummgames.net. In fact... my bandwidth usage for this month so far is 3.8GB. Not bad for a site that's only been up for less than two months my total bandwidth usage so far is 5.9GB... (20/06/09 - 17/07/09).

Can't wait to upload more game demos btw. But right now I'm focusing on completing some more reviews.

Do you think this might change in the future?

I really doubt it - it doesn't benefit Telltale in any way, and they'd have to pay Valve to enable this. That's why hardly any game does this - only some big ones like UT3 which came to Steam later and added achievments support do this.

np: Moritz Von Oswald Trio - Patterns 1 (Vertical Ascent)
