That big brown gooey thing on the mid right looks fun.

Using the game title as both the game and the word Sin itself. Close but I figured Episodes of SiN would be much like Wages of SiN. Using the game title as both the game and the word Sin itself.

I think they should call it “Episodes of SiN”

Looks like you almost got what you wanted there, Holl.

If a game was only available online and I really wanted it then I would get it that way. But if their was a choice of downloading or buying the physical item I would always choose the latter.

At least how it is planned. Ritual must be pretty certain that SiN2 is a great game. If they have been trying to find a publisher for it for song long it doesn't sound like they do not <i>want</i> to put it on store shelves. However, if they prove themselves through steam (I believe more HL2 was sold through steam than boxed) I am sure a publisher will pick up the title for retail sale. Vermouth's idea of a retail version containing 2 episodes (about the size of a standard game) seems pretty spot on. Not only that but if it is a huge sucess on steam ritual rakes in a good deal of profit. Ritual does not seem to be in a dangerous position with this choice, unless the game is poor of course. But that is the position most all developers are in anyway. I am pretty sure this is how things may roll of for Ritual. At least how it is planned.
