    Available over steam?

    Is it going to be available for purchace over steam, and registered, or will it be on its own, like Bloodlines? Even though steam is Valve's, I am sure you can arrange a deal with them.

    Valve IS the one who asked them to make it to Source!

    Am I right? I got it that way when I read the announcement

        The announcement in IRC:

        Code:
        [ 8:17 ] [@Dalai] [url]http://pc.ign.com/articles/608/608624p1.html?fromint=1[/url]
        [ 8:18 ] [+BiG_D] !
        [ 8:18 ] [+BiG_D] That's rather big
        [ 8:29 ] * Butters has joined #Swarm.Pickup
        [ 8:29 ] * SwarmPickup set +v Butters
        [ 8:29 ] [+Butters] ^^
        [ 8:29 ] [+smattbac] people sure pay attention to this channel :P
        [ 8:29 ] [+BiG_D] So either the entire channel is speechless...
        [ 8:29 ] [+Butters] news spread fast
        [ 8:35 ] [+EvenDarkerBOB] i trust no llamas!
        [ 8:36 ] [+BiG_D] So, Dalai, how far along the development cycle is it? ;)
        [ 8:36 ] [+Phantaloz] 0,000000000001% done?
        [ 8:38 ] [@Dalai] it's still pretty early, yes. we're going to need those two custom swarm campaigns to fill the gap =)
        [ 8:38 ] [+Phantaloz] just got from playing thievery...God I suck at it
        [ 8:39 ] [+BiG_D] :)
        [ 8:39 ] [+Butters] Dalai : how did this come about ? did valve contact you guys ?
        [ 8:41 ] [+[TK]Cpt-Exo] ohemefge!
        [ 8:41 ] [+[TK]Cpt-Exo] Dalai speaks :o
        [ 8:41 ] [+Phantaloz] lol
        [ 8:41 ] [@Dalai] yes, some of the guys at valve love alien swarm :)
        [ 8:41 ] [+[TK]Cpt-Exo] neat
        [ 8:41 ] [+Butters] ^^ quite a challenge, and surely great news :D
        [ 8:41 ] [+fluff|afk] wow
        
        ...
        
        [ 10:07 ] * Phantaloz has quit. [Ping timeout]
        Tbh what Dalai said is too ambiguous to draw any conclusions at all from, other than the guys at Valve liking Alien Swarm.

              I'd be quite surprised if it wasn't available over Steam.

                        Well, after Valve and Vivendi (the publisher) sorted out things in the courtroom, Valve decided to drop the cases and quit working with Vivendi as the publisher. Now there are two chances:

                        1. Valve gets a new publisher
                        2. We'll have to buy the game before August 30th

                        Anyway, Valve is digging up their own grave if they won't get a new publisher, I've had some really bad exprience with Steam and I don't know if I'd trust it on the buying thingy...And anyway, I don't have a credit card

                        But I don't really care, there's plenty of time to buy it before the boxes go out of stores

                              Valve is really trying to push the idea of Steam where you can buy all your games online...not leaving your house to buy a game and ultimately looking like Gabe
