What is Desura? Well, what is Steam for that matter? It’s nearly the same. App market, community, browser, network…what else could you want? It’s the same idea as Steam, with a different Set-up and network. So, if you have Steam, why get it? One reason, Variation. Desura has a more open atmosphere for developers instead of gamer’s. It based more toward the Indie Game Dev. than the Average Gamer. If you are a gamer, it still offers many unique games and Mod’s not found on Steam. It has another open Network besides Steam for all your Development and Gaming Needs and/or wants.
A lot of people will look at it and say, “You ripped off Steam!”, but did they? Steam is just an upgraded App Store, and so is Desura. If anything they ripped off Apple’s App store, but as everyone knows, they didn’t. Desura isn’t a Steam Rip-Off, and it’s probably something new to most people.

I am already registered and I got the client. I’m not just a steam freak. Desura is good but it’s small so far, I am waiting for more games… and mods! the sweet thing about Desura is that it’s not just gaming and community as steam. It got a lot of mods and a service for you do publish you own games. And also a lot info about game engines for example. this community is more of a gamer/nerd community rather than just gamer, as with steam =) I better start writing as a maniac again, you’re “stealing” all the good ones ^^ jk, nice read!
