Geometry Wars released on Steam, XP
« on: Monday, June 18, 2007, 05:51:13 PM »
That was a bit "WTF" moment.

Geometry Wars was released on PC a while back, but it was $8 and Vista only. Now Steam debuts GW, runs on XP, and is only $4 (if you buy now, its only $2.50).

I might splurge even though I already have the "XP version."

So, are they gonna release a version supporting both Win XP and Vista for retail stores???

Doubt it. Its not really a "retail store" kind of game. I mean...its $4 dude. The cost of making a disc in a jewel case would be more than that.

Yeah, its on MSN games or something. But that version is Vista only, and $8. Though this Steam announcement makes it seem like the XP version is just debuting on Steam, so maybe other sites will carry it.
