Independent game developer S2 Games and Valve today announced that Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is now available through the Steam digital download client. Steam is recognized as a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games and digital content with over 15 million user accounts worldwide. To celebrate the launch, S2 Games will be offering the Steam community a five dollar ($5.00 USD) discount on the download and purchase of a Savage 2 game account from now until May 10, 2008. This special introductory discount brings the price of the game down to $24.99 USD.
"Steam is, without a doubt, the leader in digital distribution and they have an extremely loyal community," said Marc DeForest, co-founder and lead designer of S2 Games. "We couldn't be happier about being available to the Steam community and we're confident that Savage 2 will appeal to their sophisticated tastes."
"Savage is a cult classic amongst gamers everywhere, including many fans here at Valve," said Jason Holtman, director of business development at Valve. "However, like many great PC games, finding a copy of its fantastic sequel is something of a challenge in the states and other parts of the world. As such, we're especially delighted to offer Savage 2: A Tortured Soul and help drive awareness of this great franchise among the millions logging on to Steam each day."
