STEAM Gains Darwinia News

Having become the launch bed for intriguing Rag Doll Kung-Fu, Valve today announced that STEAM will host Introversionâ??s surreal PC title Darwinia for $19.95.

As of December 14th a potential new audience will be treated to the subtle delights of Darwinia, from Introversion Software, the self-admitted last of the bedroom programmers and previously responsible for the cult-hit Uplink.

"In today's market, it's incredibly difficult for an independent developer to secure worldwide distribution for a new property, let alone for one that attempts to blend genres and offer a wide variety of gameplay styles," said Vicky Arundel, head of marketing at Introversion. "Through Steam, however, we are able to offer Darwinia to millions of gamers and early adopters the world over."

"After playing the game around the office, there didn't seem to be a reason why a game as great as Darwinia wasn't available to gamers worldwide," said Doug Lombardi, director of marketing at Valve. "When everyone gets their chance to play it, we think they'll be staying up all night protecting Darwinians just like us."
