Tenderfoot Thahd epower Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yay, Avernum II is out! In my ongoing effort to support Mom and Pop businesses, I'm buying direct from the Spiderweb site. I do understand the convenience of Steam but for an extra $3, you can buy the game direct from Jeff and DRM Free. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken but it's my understanding that buying direct gives Jeff a much better profit (read: financial incentive to continue developing) than a steam purchase. It's an option. YMMV. Happy playing! SurraAgob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't think any actual numbers have bubbled up, but that seems like a pretty safe assumption, yup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks for your kind consideration. The amount we earn is the highest (by a wide margin) for orders from the tiny forms at the top of our game pages. So if it's all equal, we definitely prefer you use those. Also, for Avernum 2: Crystal Souls, if you use the little widget at the top of that page, it comes with a free Steam key. It's a pretty sweet setup, though our older games don't have that. - Jeff Vogel Luca, keira and Aran 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Forget it Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So if I buy it from the site here, I both support Spiderweb the best initially, plus have a Steam Key so I can advertise that I'm playing the game to all my Holklamaniacs out there. Sweet deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Forget it Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Just bought, from the widget on Spiderweb Store. Very satisfying to both show the game off on Steam, and have a DRM-free humble widget version. I hope future releases have this option too; I'll use it.

Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've wanted to buy it directly from Spiderweb store without asking dad. Unfortunately, they have no google wallet thing or something I can get my hands on. Unlike Steam, which they have those cards, I can pay my classmates to buy at a mall... Two more good years, dear Jeff, and I promise I'll get them from your store too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Also, for Avernum 2: Crystal Souls, if you use the little widget at the top of that page, it comes with a free Steam key. It's a pretty sweet setup, though our older games don't have that.I wish I had known this before I bought the game on Steam.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Me, too. I've been sold on Steam since it saved my game of A:EftP when my computer crashed. In the future, though, I'll certainly use the widget method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Dire Hobbit Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I wish I had known this before I bought the game on Steam. Same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Juan Carlo Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Same here Ditto. I will definitely buy all future games from the SW store if they come with steam keys, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk ArchMage81 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Im buying direct from spidweb.com next week, or when the demo ends, i really like the quality of Crystal Souls! Jeff did great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
