[QUOTE="Jeff McElhannon, post: 954, member: 11"] What is it about Steam users you think that makes them not like pinball? Why do Xbox 360 and PS3 owners like pinball but PC owners don't? I just don't see the connection as to why Steam users wouldn't buy a pinball game. Perhaps releasing TPA on Steam as a free to play game (similar to mobile, where you can play until you hit a high score), would entice more people to try the game out. This also fits well with the DLC model. I don't know, I just can't see how Steam, the largest PC digital distribution service, wouldn't fit well with TPA. I think releasing it to on a platform like GoG would just send the game to die. The Witcher 2, which was developed by the owners of GoG, only sold 40,000 units through GoG. The vast majority of online sales went through Steam. I know, the games are different, but I view GoG as a niche platform where Steam is a platform for all games and all gamers. [/QUOTE]
