Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

Do computer games get physical releases anymore?

Why did this deserve a thread?

No, but sometimes you can buy a steaminstall.exe DVD with a steam key sticker inside.

this pretty much

>>15325951

It didn't

>>15325963

Okay. I wonder if publishers started printing discs again if it would help alleviate the apparent stranglehold steam has on the PC market.

publishers love the stranglehold steam has on the market, the majority of consumers do too. It's not going anywhere.

Games where niggers can be killed, now

My name is nate higgers and I fucking hate niggers

That's pretty frustrating, don't you think there's something we, as consumers that aren't as enthralled by steam, could do? Other than outright refusal to pay for games, which while it's nice for saving money doesn't appear to be affecting the market.

>>15325975

Hey I made that thread too

There was some SNES game with (I think) some kind of brown insect as the main character, or at least they were on the box/cartridge art of the game.

Does anybody know what it might be?


d72612  No.15326051

>>15326041

It Came From the Desert?


43879c  No.15326054

>>15326051

No, definitley not. It was a cartoon insect, not a realistic one.

It also wasnt Frantic Flea.

Question: How hard would it be to make a Diablo clone? Set a diablo clone in space and give it tons of loot and scifi weapons and you will make a lot of money. Please do this.

That kind of happened already but it was borderline quality wise.

No they don't, most of them really wish they didn't have to pay Valve 30% of their sales, but their own attempts at publishing platforms have generally fallen flat.

That's true of huge publishers who make so much money they're starting to think in "either we make all the money or we make none" terms like EA does. These do try to get their own steam competition going. Smaller publishers, shit like Focus Home Interactive, just see steam as an easy way to get publicity and an established market, to say nothing of indie dev studios. 30% is well worth the tradeoff in this case. Before digital distribution, publishers took way more than that. Book authors famously only get 30% of the sales at most.
