    Thing is, the only distribution channels that would fit indies (developers not backed up by a publisher) are the digital distribution ones: Steam, Desura, GOG. Those, however, are for the PC …
    It’ll be tough for Harmonix.

    @ “Price Fixing” Suit Vs. EA
    … who plays NFL? [strike that, Jonah mentioned students in their dorms] And wasn’t the controlling of prices the whole idea of “exclusive license”?
    Why isn’t there a similar suit against NFL? I mean they issued the exclusive license, right?

    @Super Meat Boy Canceled for WiiWare
    Ha! Don would have the guts to tell the right words there … Still, Derrick slipping them out once in a while is still funny.
    Anyway, Team Meat did the right choice. There are different constraints from PC/XBox to Wii.

    @PSN Still Not Turning a Profit:
    This is not news, why did you have this in the news section … ?

    Derrick, Jonah, Steam accounts are also free. And the features for it are … well, something any digital distributor would drool over.

    @Question of the week:
    I expect the rise of the indies. I mean currently the big news is coming from big developers/publishers. I’m hoping this will change in 2011 and we’ll see more news related to indies. Minecraft, Super Meat Boy, stuff like that.
