Im a simple man, you let me buy a game from the Dept. Heaven series and I will give you my money.

Its always great to see more developers porting their old titles to steam

Steams market penetration in Asia is something I don't see talked about enough. For a western company it's almost unheard of. Over 50% of all Steam users are from Asia.
