It strikes me as odd that you need a Windows version of your game on Steam. I mean, you should have one, but I didn't know you needed one.

- raddevon 12y agoSeems especially odd since SteamOS is a thing.
- J_Darnley 12y agoI can't comment on whether the application process does require a windows version, why would you cut out 95% of the customers by not having one? See http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey for the stats. You should notice that the full line there is "Your game must be able to run on Windows as a stand-alone application" which I took to mean that you (the developer) must package all the dependencies with your game. Steam would take the reputation hit if it distributed software like Linux does (dependency hell).
- tormeh 12y agoYou mean the author just used "Windows" instead of "OS"? That would be pretty dumb.
