Portal 2 Watch [Apr 16, 2011, 7:59 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
According to GLaDOS@Home, calculations are complete for two of the 13 games, as players look to trigger an early release of Portal 2. Both The Wonderful End of the World and 1... 2... 3... Kick It are complete, and a Dejobaan triple-play looms, as it looks likely that AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity will be next.
...to say nothing of how the digital version of their own game is going to cost nearly 30% more than retail.
Otherwise, there are numerous ways they could have made this better - not having a countdown to a countdown, starting the GLaDOS@Home website much earlier, reducing the requirement(s) to unlock the game, and running an indie promotion that ties into/with Portal 2 instead of dangling a release of a completed game over PC/Steam purchasers.
I am getting Portal 2 regardless. As for the indie games that I do not already have, tying any potential purchase I might make to a (now) at best one day early release was not the way to get me to play them.
Honestly, a lot of those games look like clones of other games I've played, but with less polish and worse graphics. But maybe I am wrong - I considered trying out a few games, but the games I looked at did not even have a demo. That's another common sense approach that would do a lot more in potentially getting me to purchase such a game...
If anything, it's made me frustrated with Valve and these indie developers.
Shrugging,
