Yea but you don't want it to be too hard cause there are many games and vns which are good but don't sell a lot... $2000+ per game is quite a high entry fee for some of these niche but pretty well recieved titles

Well, that's why I would prefer at least 2 tier system. And honestly, $2000 is peanuts for any serious game, and I'm affraid this will make Steam akin to chaos that Apple and Google stores are.

In my view, a two tier approach would work better, but not one like the one you proposed.

What they could do (again, imho) is a low entry fee, like $250-300, for the first game of any developer/publisher. That won't stopp anyone who is serious about what they're doing from bringing their games to Steam, but it will make shovelware publishers to think twice.

At the same time, once you already have a game on Steam, that fee for the next games could be increased to about $2,000, an amount that's perfectly assumeable for serious devs/publishers that have faith in their games but that will be too high for those that only publish crap.

• The Company of Heroes franchise is on sale, with all the games 75% off: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/coh-franchise/

It worked out cheaper to buy Company of Heroes 2 complete than to buy the discounted DLC seperate. :P
..Then I went to download/install it and it's 40GB. Screw that. >.>

Also saw there was a Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition with new graphics and a ton of changes... Wen't to buy it and found out my years-old copy got upgraded for free. Woot.
Downloading now. (Less than 6GB)

That Titan Quest upgrade was made available last year, around September or so. And I remember you commented on it.

You can say a lot of things about Nordic games, now THQNordic, has been amazing giving those upgraded versions for free for pre-existing owners of the games (Titan Quest, Darksiders I & II).

I had some problems with this new Titan Quest, but after looking into it, it seems that they've been working on it since then. I may give it another go.
