Guild Wars 2

Steam is a powerful marketing tool simply by it just existing. Has there been any thought of GW2 being released on steam? (GW1 is on there)

At this point, with the behemoth Steam has become, I figure it would be a “why not” scenario.

But perhaps it is because of the ties the TP has with it’s own browser/sites? who knows.

The problem is that Valve Corp. (the makers of Steam) wants a share on sale and microtransaction from accounts that were created through them. I don’t think NCSoft/ArenaNet wants that.

A-Net doesn’t want to sell their game for 90% off during summer? ;P

All jokes aside, something like what the above said. they have to make a deal with valve to put their game on there, that probably has some conditions that they don’t want to make. so instead of accepting those for the benefit of joining steam, they’d rather chance it by it’s lonesome.

at least I can just attach it to my steam account and play it.
