Austin, TX – In a move likely to shock absolutely no one, Devolver Digital CFO and massage parlor enthusiast Fork Parker has revealed that plans for his company’s digital download game service, codenamed “Krundle”, have been abandoned.

“I think we could have revolutionized how I make a shitload of money,” said CFO Fork Parker. “But the reality is Steam is an amazing digital platform. That’s where we want to distribute our top-tier titles like Serious Sam 3: BFE to generate the kind of revenue it takes to buy things like velvet-covered jet skis. Holy crap, did I just invent those?”

The proposed service was set to radically change the digital distribution marketplace with features not seen in any other online offering:0

Unconventional preorder incentives like in-game nachos and undetonated Cold War era munitions
Free-to-Play-for-Fifty-Bucks games wherein the consumer is free to play the game once it is purchased for $50
Complimentary Portuguese adult films with purchases of $200 or more

While breakthrough concepts found in the now aborted download service may never see the light of day, Devolver Digital pledges to move the industry forward and keep bringing genuinely unique games to the hungry masses.

“I guess consumers could also sign-up for EA’s Origin service if they are into 10-year-old train simulators,” claimed Fork. “But you can be sure those sons of bitches will never deliver in-game nachos.”

I think SS3 just got added to my "must buy" list

Well, we know how Croteam feels about EA. I was looking forward to my nachos, though.

Hah. I love these guys!

God, I love a sense of humor.

/duped into thinking 'SS3' meant 'System Shock 3'.

 

[Hornet]

That's it. I'm going to buy SS3 for that alone

My question remains: where can I buy Serious Sam 2? Croteam, I'm ready to throw money at you. Where can I get it? Make it available as a pre-order bonus maybe.

I loved/hated those spiders in SS2. They sure taught me how to bowl with a cannon though!!

I'd totally install a DD platform called "Krundle". Sponsored by StrongBad.
