Frankly, though, it doesn't strike me that selling games through Steam, but not Steamworks, would be in Valve's best interests at all. Valve's rejection of B3C makes even more sense in light of this information.

What are you talking about?

Steamworks is an optional API granting standard Steam integration and features.
Steam is a digital delivery platform that requires that games it distributes must be patched through Steam. A recent addition to the rules is that the DLC for the game must also be sold through Steam. Neither of these rules involve Steamworks.

Now what about "Valve's rejection of B3C makes even more sense in light of " BC2 not using Steamworks?



edit: Corrected B3C, wondering to myself, "How the fuck could I make that mistake" only to then realize it wasn't my mistake
