Ep23: Not Everyone likes W,A,S,D

· Written by Andrew · Sunday, 09 August 2009 20:00 ·

Episode 23 of the LP2 podcast weighs in at a little over 40 minutes and focuses on the major discussion of Console vs PC, but expands to contrast the idea of local processing against server side processing and how it's being driven by the ever increasing digital distribution of games. Andrew begins with a discussion of Steam, the online marketplace tool of popular developer Valve. They discuss availability and pricing, the decline of retail as well as not getting any box art with a download. Plus, how much trust are you willing to put in an online provider not to go under and take your digital property with it? Kerry segways into Onlive and how thats going to take it one more step, where not only do you not get a physical copy of the game but you won't even get a digital copy either. The LP2 then moves onto control style, bringing back some Console vs PC comments, as they discuss controllers and keyboards.
