Gamer's networks; which ones are key?

Gaming networks.... Theres was a good list of cross platform ones that was published in Ludum Dare a while back. Lets see if I can dig it up...

Some time ago, I try to get in touch with Steam staff to know about any SDK available for developing and any chance about anything that allow a Delphi developer to publish a game with them. Unfortunatly they ignore me. Maybe if anyone from admin staff from the PGD forum ask, will have better chance.

Hi guys, recently I contacted Desura staff, and ask about requirements to publish games with them, here's their answer

There is nothing special you need to do to your game for it to work on Desura. In order to have a game reviewed for publication on Desura you are going to need to create a developer profile and game profile on our sister site ModDB.

You can create your developer/company profile here:
http://www.moddb.com/company/add

You can create your game profile here:
http://www.moddb.com/games/add

You will need to upload no less than 10 screenshots and at least 1 game play video, and more is better. If you have a game trailer upload that as well. Once you have done that you can click on the publish link on your game's profile. This will cause the system to automatically prompt us to review your game for publication. Your videos and screenshots will be used to review your game.

Hope this help a bit.

Desura has some interesting options for developers who want to start selling at alpha. Something I've considered. My problem is that it's currently Windows only right now.

Desura rings a bell. Unfortunately I can't find that link I mentioned earlier anywhere - ludum dare is so lively I looked through a few dozen pages and had to face the reality its lost in the tsunami of content those guys generate XD

Although it would pose the same issue as Desura, you could go to the Ubuntu Software Centre - you can get paid, theres a lot of users out there and its looking for developpers to submit apps to it. Oh, and its not only limited to ubuntu since its now possible to get it up and running on many 'ubuntu-like' distros
