Blazblue for steam?

[ResidentEvil]

How come this isn't on steam, does gfwl have an exclusive deal or something?

Really want the game to come to steam though, would buy it in an instant.

I'd guess that's due to the game having different publishers in different regions. In America it's published by Aksys games and in Europe by pQube and Zen United. I hadn't heard of those two before Blazblue.

It would still be a GFWL title even if it did come to steam, so i hope you're reasoning isn't so it won't have GFWL.

After playing Guilty Gear on GoG I really wish this one was on Steam...

Stranger things have happened. If Skullgirls (which has no GFWL by the way) sells well on the PC's DD platforms, perhaps its designer/greatest Tager player will put in a good word for PC.

Join the club. A very, very underpopulated, well spoken, and underrepresented club.

I wish they put in Guilty Gear Isuka as well, if they put in Skull-Girls, or maybe Blazblue.

I don't even know why they bothered putting this on PC if they weren't going to put it for sale everywhere. It's kind of hard to find.

Fixed that for you.

Isuka is on GamersGate and DotEmu. DRM-free, too, and both services are better than GFWL and Steam. I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as X2 #Reload (which you can pick up on GOG), but I suppose anything is better than Dust Strikers.

You're welcome.

The PC version of BlazBlue was not published by Aksys Games in North America, it was self-published by Arc System Works.
