| I dont think anyone knows what valve or steam is here hue. I'd buy it 85% off though, maybe I'll get some cool trading cards worth 10 cents with it. #winning |

CS1.6 NOSTEAM - allz I'm sayin'.
It won't really solve the piracy issue unless you do it through steam from the first release of the plugin. Interesting move though. Not sure it will improve the revenue from the plugins though. |

Just goes to show how mainstream making music at home has become.
z3ta+2 is actually pretty good, no worse than the majority of other synths out there.
At $50, it could potentially sell in big numbers, although I'm not sure how they're going to work out the DRM etc as I certainly wouldn't allow Steam to run in the background while I was using my DAW. |

| I dont really see the problem with them selling audio programs, I would be more inclined to buy it from there. But yeah Steam's interface has gotten worse by the years. |

I love Steam, it's amazing for gaming. I'm just not seeing why I would want to buy a software synth, normally used through VST, through Steam. Seems to me like a Steam synth can only be used independently. |

I think it would be good as you could browse through different plugins from different manufacturers at the same place, and just buy or test demo's with a single click. But if it requires you to log onto Steam in order to use them it would be stupid. But i guess they've thought about that. |

Steam was great for games because it allowed cheap distribution and publishing for PC games that would never have been produced otherwise.
The VST plugin market already works that way so it kind of negates that issue.
What you do have however, is a large captive market, although I suspect there will be an initial flurry of interest followed by the inevitable 'why am I not a superstar DJ yet, I've downloaded the superstar DJ app?' comments. |
