Another 90+ exclusive for Wii. Mark it

it's not exclusive. It's on PC.

 

Well true, but some consider "console exclusives" particularly in the X360s case where many of it's "exclusives" are not in truth exclusive.

How do you buy it on a PC anyway? because if it's too expensive on disc here in Europe I may do that... i'm not going to sign up to steam for this, I presume I can (will be able to) buy it from the World of Goo website?

Although I don't have a mouse, so it might be awkward with a touchpad.... I wish there were a free demo (I believe there is a demo but you have to pre-order the game to get it, which is irritating)

where to get the goo

launch day is coming up this monday and the 2d boys have never been so anxious and excited!  world of goo will still be available for purchase on our website, and the boxed version is already available for pre-order on amazon.com.

starting this monday, you’ll also be able to purchase it on wiiware, steam, and direct2drive.  the game’s nintendo channel page is already up as is the steam page.  thanks to the two jasons and doug over at valve for helping us get the game set up with steamworks so quickly! (can you say achievements?).  huge thanks to dan adelman at nintendo for all the help and support he’s given us over the last year.

the game will also be available on greenhouse, the most indie friendly portal there is.  2d boy cheers for penny arcade and hothead games for bringing it into existence.

last but not least, the good people at brighter minds, our retail publisher for the PC version in north america will make the game available on their new portal, beanstalk games.  thanks ran and jody!

[ update: several people who have pre-ordered have asked us if they’d be able to activate the game on steam.  we contacted valve about this and the answer is a big fat YES.  when the game releases, anyone who pre-ordered from our website will be able to use their magic key to activate the game on steam. we’re working with them right now to make this happen. ]
