PureBasic on Steam

Post by Basti »

I don't know if this idea has been posted here yet, but: since the Greenlight initiative of Steam allows not only games but also applications to be put on Steam I think it might be a good idea to put PureBasic there (just like YoYo did with GameMaker).

Even if PureBasic doesn't get greenlighted (which I doubt because everyone here would push it) it would probably generate a lot of interest in PureBasic which is always a good thing, right? RIGHT?!

:wink:

Not a bad idea, actually. :)

But only in addition, because before I must create a Steam account,
I renounce rather, as well as I make it with all Games there.
PureBasic 5.73 | SpiderBasic 2.30 | Windows 10 Pro (x64) | Linux Mint 20.1 (x64)
Old bugs good, new bugs bad! Updates are evil: might fix old bugs and introduce no new ones.

It also costs something like $100 to get a project listed on Greenlight, now.

An investment worth taking if you ask me!
I support this idea!
I like logic, hence I dislike humans but love computers.

$100 of spend for the potential to get thousands of dollars in sales.... a no brainer if you ask me :). Well worth the risk.

BUMP! Steamworks SDK is available to anyone now.
Has anyone tried binding it to a PB app yet?
