I think they've kind of gotten over that (Since GG even sells Steamworks games now). I think they've mellowed a bit since GG and Impulse are/have come up with their own Steamworks kind of service (Minus the lock-in of course, to not sound hypocritical). But in an interview with GG about a year back, they did genuinely sound like they liked Steam, and instead of competing directly with them, instead focus on offer other features that Steam may not have (Which is the way it should be... Compete through diversity rather than trying to be the leader of the pack)

Please remove this:

3. No Steamwork games

Gamers Gate do sell Steamwork games, eg. Shogun 2

Yeah, I remember reading that somewhere too but let's face it, that's the nature of competition. Today the 2 of them may lavish praises on each another & tomorrow, you see them bickering to no end.

Another possible factor that I just recalled. Remember the survey conducted by NPD which revealed that Steam was sitting on top of the digital download chart & GamersGate was nowhere to be seen? The same CEO here wasn't too happy either.

Anyway, I found another article dating all the way back to 2009 where Mr. CEO poked at Steam too so I guess this is not something new.

Haha, that NPD article was actually quite insulting (Even to Steam).

Maybe it's just the nature of CEOs really... They need to try to get (Or at least give the impression) first place to attract more investors and whatnot.

Ah well... As long as they don't make public declarations and royally screw up based on it (Case in point: The Gamers Bill of Rights by Stardock) I'll keep buying stuff from them... Hell, even then I'd still buy, only I'd be less inclined to given the choice.

Age of Wonders is a decent turn-based strategy game, if I remembered correctly.

Yup, that's right. This is 1 of the rare moments where it's cheaper to get the UK version instead of the usual US version.

Woot! Pre-order Total War: Shogun 2 from GamersGate & not only you're entitled for 30% cashback in Blue Coins, you'll also get Rome: Total War Gold Edition for free! Already own Rome: Total War Gold Edition? Then gift it to your friends instead.
