Factor 5's president, Julian Eggebrecht, said that he intends to embrace the online distribution service and believes it will be good for the industry. "Personally, as a director, I think it's one of these things that we in the creative community need a little bit," he told US industry siteGamasutra.

If this proves to be a success we may well see many other major studios look to bringing out cheaper and creatively risky games to supplement their bigger titles.
