do you realize how easy it is to get any company onto steam? if you did you would never have said that.


That's... not that big of a deal. It's too early in his working there for him to really repair anythign yet, and the project may have been in the works before he came along. Unless you've got some evidence that says otherwise, I don't think the man single-handedly pushed the project through in a week's time. Chances are, just to do the negotiations with Valve to get the games on the service would take longer than a week.
Save these sort of proclamations until the man actually does something. Right now he's just seeing someone else's plans to their conclusion. And it's a simple money grab at that, from a well they've tapped many times. Alert us when Atari makes a new game worth buying. Or, better yet, when Atari is financially stable again.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
It does seem amazingly fast, how is getting stuff on steam so easy, Its either stupidly easy or was planned before he got there, what is the whole process for getting a game on steam like this?
Really, SSJ? So, like, ave you published a game on Steam? Or, at least, do you have articles about it? Do tell, how do YOU know about how easy it is to get a game on steam?
And even if it is that easy, he still hasn't done a thing to be commended for. Atari has been running that same gameplan since the Jaguar died. Reprint the old games for some quick cash so we can make more bad games that will not sell, that's their M.O. and has been for over a decade.

atari's main probably is their finacial issues. putting their titles on steam = instant cash flow. Come now the 80 pack of classic arcade/2600 titles which all earned a good amount of cash back in the day will make even more.
and negotiations with valve? valve WANTS developers to support Steam why would they even consider saying no to any developer who wants to jump on?
