The Steam Review

A short post today. This week's news update has revealed that Zombie Movie, a short (10min) comedy film produced by two Valve employees, one current and one former, will be released over Steam following its premier at Screamfest LA. While this is an interesting experiment from a socioeconomic viewpoint, at 10 minutes and for only one film it seems unlikely that we'll see any technology beyond a seld-contained Bink .exe used, similar to how Half-Life 2's E3 2003 videos were handled. No mention was made of whether the short would be free or for a small price.

TSR's analysis of Steam's new UI won't be posted until the site has moved to Wordpress.
