Will the game be released on steam?

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself as a (cyber) motocross racer!
I really enjoy this game and would go as far as saying that this is my favorite MX game but it is my least played because I don't see a future in this game.

I would like to ATLEAST bring up the though of this game being released on steam. I believe that this would revive the game again and bring in more players. Making the game more accessible is just a big + and I know this dev is talented enough to do this. I do see that the dev is still active and this led to me seeing more potential. Steam would make the game more accessible and it would be something new to a lot of users.

The original website where you purchase the game looks shady and can definitely make someone not want to purchase the game. One big factor is the price... I think the price should be lowered or go on sale. I'd prefer for it to go on sale because this dev deserves the money in my opinion, but then again $42 isn't a friendly price for such a small game.

I tried explaining to the best of my capabilities and I'm not very active on here so if you need to contact me you can DM on discord, my username is: powderedup

I probably will at some point. BMT Micro was great when Barb was the customer support person but now that she retired there's nothing special about them.

I always thought the reason for it not being on steam for this long was something to do with you getting a better cut of the sales. Steam is known for having a higher take percentage compared to other other distributors. On another note, it'd be funny to see some steam achievements :lol:

Well I will be looking forward to this! I have been trying to get a family member on the game but he hasn't gotten it since it isn't on steam.

Steam does take a much bigger cut. But it does seem like there are plenty of people who are afraid to buy from anywhere else these days.

i think if theres a shot to breathe new life into the game, it's probably a good idea to take it, i've already seen plenty of MXB playing not wanting to buy sim purely for the fact that it's not very appealing that it's "on some random website." Who knows what will happen, but I certainly feel it can't make the games situation worse by it.

iv been playing the demo for around a week now and love the game, but like most i don't like buying games off of steam because its annoying if i want to redownload it and have to contact someone for a activation key or worse have to buy the game again. i really hope to see this game on steam so i can pick it up :D

You'll never have to contact anyone after purchasing sim as long as you keep track of where your reg key is and where the game download is (usually in the same email). But yes it is simply easier having all your games on steam and readily available to play and switch your pc on at any given time

I would FIRE the marketing manager for not being on there especially when your competitors have benefited & evolved exponentially :)
