[QUOTE="Freelance, post: 957, member: 55"] Have you all forgotten all the stuff I said about Slamit Pinball having too many bugs [I]which has never been resolved[/I] and how Worms Pinball is incredibly overpriced? If there are pinball fans on Steam, thanks to the problems I just described, they are NOT buying those games and thus Valve believes there's no market for pinball games due to low sales. It makes sense from their perspective. It just sucks for us fans. You can't deny that in this day and age, pinball is virtually an extinct genre. People would rather play video games instead, hence the problem getting pinball games distributed. Of course there's always exceptions (Zen Pinball) but overall, pinball isn't a beloved genre anymore like in the old days. Witcher 2 was horrible on Steam so I don't know why all the sales went there. Steam forced you to DL a 9GB patch whereas with the other websites you didn't need to. GoG is a great website and I'd love TPA to go there but I doubt that will happen as GoG doesn't have a DLC system that I am aware of. Sure, Steam has a bigger fanbase but don't discount other distribution services too! I actually prefer them to Steam as I don't need to load up any software (Steam) to play the games I buy. If a game is cheaper elsewhere, I go there. Also, GoG already has the Pro Pinball series, among others and there are already a nice pinball fanbase there too judging from the posts there so it seems like a win-win situation to me if it happens. Also, word of mouth goes a long way in getting nice sales. At any rate, I'm done with the PC version now if it's going to be this much of a hassle. Might as well stick to the PS3 and 3DS versions. If it comes to Steam/GOG/D2D, then great! I will still buy it on PC. It if comes to GfWL or Win 8, then no way. I won't buy it on PC at all. It would be nice if Farsight could just have it available straight on their website but I guess that's not possible. If anything, those two pinball games on Steam hurt our chances of seeing TPA there. That's my opinion anyway. [/QUOTE]
