Smash Bros. Creator is Totally Impressed with Steam

Kotaku writes:

But aren't we all? Yes, yes, Steam is a pretty decent online store. At least Smash Bros. creator, Masahiro Sakurai, thinks so. Maybe he could, you know, make a game to sell there.

"It's become mandatory that each platform has its own built-in [digital] shop." Sakurai reflected in his semi-weekly column in Weekly Famitsu. "So among those, which online shop is superior and offers the most incentive to buy from it? I would answer, 'Steam.'"

I'm not atm.

Waiting 19 days & counting for a simple ass password reset.

you must be doing something wrong!

Mikefizzled3343d ago

Nope. Some of the Steam emails just go into oblivion. Theres threads on the Steam forums on people, myself included, never getting things like trade confirmation emails but will without fail get other emails from Steam.

I would have said the same since I've only had a great experience buying cheap games but I've never had a pw issue.

I have seen several comments recently that are similar and I have begun to worry.

I have kept both my junk & main box cleaned out.

I just started a second request while keeping my first open to see if something changes.

I think Nintendo and Steam should team up.

Steam Machines get more living room clout, Ninty gets a new audience... okay, wait, perhaps I need a coffee. Disregard.

OT: More Japanese developers are seeing Steam as a great way of tapping back into a worldwide/western audience with minimum expense, and that's awesome.

Wow great thought! I would love to watch those 2 with unorthodox styles combine and flourish.

Also competition with MSony would be great for gamers.

Love how JP is appreciating PC, hope to see more games on the platform. I never thought I would see the day when Valkyria Chronicles, MGS and FFXIII come to PC

Steam should be the prototype that all the digital distributors strive to be. Steam always adds great new features such as GameStream, Family Sharing, Game Recording, etc. Valve keeps making Steam better and better without a subscription fee! It almost turns the consoles theology on its head.
Valve makes Steam better and better because they genuinely care. They dont do it to extend Hype or sell Consoles. Valve is truly the best at what they do.

Yep, I really love Steam. It makes PC gaming better.

Sky Climb Review - Duuro

Duuro says: "I think the idea behind the movement is cool, but on the other hand, the execution and clear limitation of the platform somewhat undermine the whole thing."
