ET on Steam?

by eRRoRR • 24 Oct 2018, 14:10 • Journals
Hello friends,

I'm bored at work and stumbled upon crossfire again and I noticed a very firm wish to get ET active again. Mainly by superb content creator [flag=dunnothecodeformarseille]LeFrancis looking for ways to make ET accessible.

So I wondered what one would have to do to get ET on Steam, since its probably the biggest platform for games and also helped old games like AoE 2 to get popular once more. I think that ET being on Steam would have the biggest impact to increase the playerbase. And it's also very easy to play online which would make searching wars on IRC irreleveant. Of course someone would have to make some sort of client for that.

Now, I'm not a smart man. So who would you have to actually ask to make something like that happen? It's probably not going to happen, but I like to dream.

Have a nice day

Yo m8,

This should answer your question:
QuoteAcizAujourd'hui à 11:41
Zenimax didn't approve, which holds the rights for the game iirc
francisAujourd'hui à 11:44
and they still hold these rights or?
kemonAujourd'hui à 12:00
Yes, they do.
The game data (mainly assets like textures, sounds, models) are still protected by the EULA
To get on steam we need to republish thrm for what we do not have the rights

ok I see
EnsiformAujourd'hui à 16:08
Nobody knows if zenimax never approved
But they won't sign off on it because they can't make money from it
And it costs money to have it put on steam


Marseille = me ;{D

Additional info:

QuoteThe price is right. Steam Direct, Valve's upcoming replacement for Steam Greenlight, will require a fee of just $100 for developers to publish their games on Steam, the company announced today. As previously announced, a developer will have to pay the fee for each game they want to release on Steam.

Thx man. 100 $ sounds manageable through donations and stuff.

it would certainly be nice but was already tried by Baggiez in 2011 when ET was much more active... not sure that we have anything to offer now that we didn't have back then x10

Did you atleast get an answer? If so why did they refuse to get ET on Steam?

It's the same thing as mentioned to you at first, it was only the rights for the game.

or next level: request youtubers like ninja for Gameplay Videos

enough reach :D
we Need a good moviemaker to make a game content trailer for ET so newcomers will have a better Picture of ET!
I guess there is at least one youtuber for each Country who could upload one ET Video.. could be someone with 10k followers.. so we also grow our international community.
