<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Perhaps I should have stated that the foundation does not have the<br>
manpower to maintain yet another platform. Dalai & Bastian are quite<br>
busy with making new features that are sorely needed and making them<br>
maintain another platform so we can get at the code in yet another<br>
fashion is a waste of their time. I'm all for steam integration. I'm<br>
a huge steam fan but putting the devs that are actually working on new<br>
tools and who don't have enough time in the day as it is is just sorta<br>
silly. We already can access Blender through the official website,<br>
<a href="http://builder.blender.org" target="_blank">builder.blender.org</a>, <a href="http://graphical.org" target="_blank">graphical.org</a>, and directly through git. Letting<br>
the gamedev focused devs work on new tools and features outweighs the<br>
slight convenience we gain by having them work to put it on steam.<br>
Now if somebody else wants to volunteer, great! I'll take the<br>
convenience. Yay!<br>
