Steam turned down Illwinter on their new game Conquest of Elysium 3. So it might help there. Maybe Steam didnt know who they were turning down so this campaign might help

As far as price drops, maybe Dom2 or Dom1. Heck Conquest of Elysium 2 is one of the free download games from Shrapnel.

yeah I don't know if there is a way to contact them directly but this is the best alternative I could find. Hopefully this is taken into consideration to breath new life into the game. I seriously would love to see the modding community for this game spring up again and I think Steam distribution/advertisement would be the answer. If anyone knows a way to get this message to the guys behind this then please help. Thank you all for taking the time to read my topic

That said Dominions 3 is a ton better game than Conquest of Elysium 3. I am not surprised at all Steam didn't accept CoE3. It's a cool concept but a very flawed game (I haven't played in ages though, but I doubt patches overhauled pretty much everything.) Though while I believe Dominions 3 would have fair chance of being accepted by Steam, the current pricing is so ludicrous that there is no way that would happen.

@Drok'Slit consider it passed on. And yes they do appreciate efforts like this from the community.

@Elmokki Isnt that what this effort is about? To convince Steam. There are great games on Steam. And there are cheap games on Steam. There are even some great cheap games on Steam. And altho some people may think that defines Steam it does not seem true. There are games on there which are more expensive than Dom3, and there are games on there which are crappier than Coe3.

So maybe just telling Steam that they should look past their initial impressions of those games, and there there is a dedicated following, might be enough to get ours listed there also.

Altho personally Im more interested in whether they are listed on Amazon.

There are games on steam more expensive than 55 dollars? I'm gonna have to ask you to show me one. iirc steam has a max of 50 bucks.

Edit:

Right, after doing my own homework, I see that call of duty: black ops 2 is 60 bucks. Link: http://store.steampowered.com/search...rt_order=DESC&

More than that. Not a lot but there is more

But that wasnt the point. The point I was making is that the impression of Steam some people have of a bargain basement site. As if all of the games are under $20 and often go on sale for 10 or 5 or 2. Its not that way for all of the games. It doesnt look like Steam is turning down Illwinter based on price or quality. I think they just dont know Illwinter
