FHM4 - eSellerate or Steam?

GMO123 · 11-22-2017, 04:57 PM

If I buy FHM4 from Steam or esellerate does it make a difference?

I understand the actual game is the same but does it affect mods that are available or any other thing?
Thanks.

No, other than you can't use Steam Workshop. You just have to download and install mods yourself.

The other thing that is different is steam takes a cut and if I remember right, they get more money if you buy from their store

Yeah, Steam takes more. But it's a little more complex than that; the more you sell on Steam, the more exposure you'll get there - the top sellers list, better and longer placement on the main store page, showing up on the recommended list for more people, etc. So a sale on Steam isn't just a single sale, it's 1 + whatever other additional sales that it drives. An eSellerate sale doesn't have that add-on aspect. We're happy with either choice.

Personally I prefer to go DRM-free whenever possible.
