I believe i saw it posted that Shrapnel's contract to distribute expired this month and Illwinter decided to try other avenues.....i havent seen anything on steam though, i think they're only going with desura for the moment...
Well they launched CoE3 on Desura and it showed up on Steam later... it would have a TON more visibility on Steam.
Hurray in advance! :D Hopefully this will help the game receive the attention it deserves -- if Dwarf Fortress can become a cult hit, so can this.
So that was the reason for the mindblowing 40% (or whatever) off sale of dominions3 recently. And to think shrapnel changed their ways.
Pros and Cons. So far the sites that carry Illwinters other game havent thrilled me. (Conquest of Elysium 3 on Desura, GamersGate, Steam for those interested) But it does open positions for support and PR if anyone is interested. :) Personally I want to snap up the PR if I can replace the referral income. The change shut down my income from my Dom3 shop.
