I've spoken to some of the marketing people at Valve recently and they assured us that this was not for any products they themselves are releasing soon. Rather, as a tool for other developers shipping through Steam do charge fees that way.
On the other hand, I think it's just a matter of time for Valve to do so. Recurring revenue is king. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mod man" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 01, 2003 12:48 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Steam to move to pay-as-play for HL2? > There are suggestions floating about that once Steam and HL2 get going > that HL2 will move to a pay-as-you-play billing format for online play. > I wouldn't have give this much thought, except that the slide show > presentation at the Game Developers Conference in 2002 listed this as a > feature of Steam.
