FoFIX On Steam

[devtwenty]

I was wondering if maybe we could try and get FoFIX to be on steam and have connectivity to the steam workshop to download songs etc and maybe even have a multiplayer?? anyone reckon they could maybe make these ideas come to life??

It could maybe be on Steam, but downloading songs using Steam....
I repeat: Downloading songs.
Downloading songs.

Steam is legal. I don't think they would approve it.

Edit: I don't even know really good how Steam works, but this was just my logical thinking.

If you want FoFiX on Steam you can add it as a non-steam game.

It's unlikely that a free game like this would be approved and allowed to use the workshop for song downloads.

it wouldnt work on the simple fact that fofix is made to clone and is based around cloning, Phase shift may have a chance, but even PS's chance is low, however i believe fofix has no chance.

Phase Shift's chance is just as low as FoFiX (no chance at all), just saying. As both require a little thing called internet piracy. Plus both games violate steam policies as they promote said piracy. Easier to download the games from their respective links and play.

Neither game requires piracy, but from what I've seen so far, Phase Shift has a much larger library of legal content (songs where the artists gave permission for their use, or are otherwise open source). You can't write off all user-provided/modded content just because piracy is possible. Custom songs are easy to pull off in Guitar Hero, Rock Band and Rocksmith, but that doesn't automatically make them illegitimate.

Bare in mind i did forget the whole CC artist thing when i did write that post. It's still not something that you or I would back on Steams Greenlight program, as the premise behind Greenlight is to give some indie developers the means to release a game to a market (not saying FoFiX or Phase Shift are not indie titles). Personally i see it as a waste of money putting either game on Steam.
Anyways, before the whiny mcpooter pants sees this and automatically assumes im hating on PS..... As someone mentioned earlier, add non-steam game. Usually does the trick, i bet some people here launch a lot of their games specifically through Steam as a "hub" of sorts

Also before i forget, the original FoF is on most Linux app "stores".

i think this is unrealistic but it would be cool

[Mrbazooka]

I don't think that will ever happen, since fofix is just a free fretted game, where you can play by yourself or with a bot .

[Asskickulater]

free doesn't matter, also you can play with other people too.
