Many of us on here (especially me) always have an opinion on how "if it were my car company I would do it better this way..."
Well, here's our chance. This game could be a fun way for us to hold some neat contests! http://www.automationgame.com

It seems to only be windows compatible. And is still beta. But for something this in depth I want it done right. I'll buy a copy.
There was a thread here a couple years ago about this, started by one of the developers.
Seems like it is still at pretty much the same stage it was then.
Sounded cool then, and still sounds cool. But I'k going to wait a bit to see where it goes before buying.

Steam is a commerce platform for selling games. Steam doesn't make games work cross-platform.

So, as a non-gamer ... when I see steam for linux I cannot assume all games that are "Steam" are playable on all things Steam supports? I am disappoint. I expected a portable runtime like the java virtual machine or some such engine that allows the games to be "write once run everywhere we ported to".
Otherwise... er... what is the point of Steam? If I have to code for each arch type ... then it buys me nothing as a developer of multi-platform gaming. Why Steam? Serious question.

Because without it and its idiot-proof floating licensing, update pushing, and easy store front, a lot of gamers will never find or buy a given dev's niche game. Getting discovered is hard. Getting discovered without Steam is harder.
