Yeah I think it was even lower than that. It is almost useless right now, but still it's a relatively known brand, and it's a haven for a lot of indies who can't get on Steam. If Linden Labs keep this attitude but fix all the interface and service problems (like that empty ftp thing), I think it could grow.
In the same vein, there's Indievania, but they're even smaller and I remember reading somewhere that they had terrible practices.
Here's an article about Defender's Quest: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/186940/defenders_quest_by_the_numbers_.php
(for reference the articles says they made $34,800 in a single Daily Deal on Steam)
Here's maybe the thing you remembered, about Atom Zombie Smasher (which is a fairly high profile indie game, so it fits): http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/03/07/just-how-important-is-steam-for-indie-devs
Also, Swing Swing Submarine unveiled some data about how well Blocks That Matter did:
Surprisingly, more copies were sold on Indievania than on Desura.
Everyone is going to be strapped for cash after August.
I'm not sure if I'm imagining it or if it is a real phenomenon, but it feels like the pace of quality indie game releases is a lot faster now than it was two years ago. At least, I feel like even cherry-picking the best-received indie games, I'm still having a hard time just keeping up.
Oh wow the rest of Digital Combat Sim was finally added, I hope existing owners can add it, Eagle Dynamics DRM has always been a little annoying.
steam forums don't have a lot of info yet but the outlook isn't great.

Yeah, think it was that one. Steam is a juggernaut.
I even remember this one: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=51593112

Yeah I feel the same way, there are a lot more top notch indie games coming out these days.
it's literally the same tree in every screenshot
if there's a second tree capcom is really selling this game short
Since we are discussing sales numbers, I will post some that Hitbox, the developers of Dustforce, released.
These don't necessarily coincide with the discussion at hand, but very interesting nonetheless. Its also important to note that the sales were probably not handled perfectly, like Recettear, they went to Bundle too soon.
Also gives me an excuse to post their next game, which looks awesome.
Hitbox's new game is called Spire. An FPS/RPG/Roguelike in a procedural generated tower.
Tons of items and magic to find throughout the tower.

The bigger issue is them completely skipping both summer sales for no reason.
but yeah I agree too. No one in their right mind can deny that "indie games" are a major thing now
They've proven to be great game designers, poor business men.
Going by the IQ in that screenshot, I don't think Salsa is running the game at max or with mods.

Bummed we don't seem to be getting any Crysis 3 Single Player dlc, I really enjoyed the game in general and thought it was a pretty tight, fun experience. Although the turret hacking was quite poor.
man the Crykeyboard looks pretty hardcore
well I mean, it's a close up texture that shows up for a couple seconds
here's others from that session just now, in steam's crappy quality:
it's still a pretty game

That looks really interesting. I gotta get into these adventure games.Currently going through syberia.
i like it already .
Only complaint i have is that it is not playable in 1080p
I am both maxing and playing with mods. It's the shitty JPEG compression + a shitty close up of a shitty looking area
im downsampling also tho, wich doesnt help screens

Thank you, sir, the person with whom I'll trade for Rage will most enjoy this.
I kid, I've just activated it, thank you again.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Awesome giveaway! Thanks for Disciples III !!!
Hey folks, anyone used nuuvem.com.br before ? Reason I ask is that I'm looking to get Saints Row 4 and whilst looking at Dunders Google store he mentions to pick it up cheap from this place. I assume it's fine if he's mentioning it just wondering if anyones bought from it before. SR4 is around £20 or so from there so half the price of what its currently going for.

thanks for Galaxy on Fire!
Nah, my 7970 GHz is a bit better.
It's the best digital store in Brazil, I always buy things there, they're legit
The Bureau is also cheap there.
EDIT: Titanfall is ~$45 there, which is pretty good since as far as I know it's 60 in the US, right?

Good man, thank you!
I assume it's usually WW versions for games from them ? I can only really think of games having separate Russian versions and that's about it really (well that and say some censored versions for Germany etc)Yeah Titan will be $60 in the US, probably £40 in the UK for me (or maybe £35)
Nah, my 690 is like 2 680s
Good man, thank you!
Hm, can't say for sure, never saw anyone saying they couldn't activate a steam key from Nuuvem.

I've bought some games from them and I can assure you they're very reliable.
Hey guys, from time to time I get a weird thing in Dark Souls - it's like I just killed something and I get the experience but the "pixie dust" is coming from above my head and is gold-ish. Is that explained later in the game (I'm in... Blighttown...) and if it isn't, can someone here tell me what it means?
