WMMA4 Steam Release?

Will (and if so, is any date set?) WMMA4 be released on steam in any way?

Right now everyone is talking about TEW20 and you're discussing an older version of another game. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I hope they are considering other platforms for their game, but honestly I don't mind this being exclusive to this "elicence" (on the premise that the support remains on a daily basis so you're not screwed if you lose your key). Most hardcore fans will swallow their principles just to play this.

I mean, I've seen a few topics on steam asking similar questions about this game and a few others, so it got me curious to the possibility. I already have the games anyway, but on a personal note I wouldn't mind getting a steam version for it.</p>

Yes, I would love if even the new games would have a steam release, but I also understand the decision. However, since it's probably not happening, GDS would have a lot to gain to at least put other titles up there, like WMMA4.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, I'm assuming that are no plans to release WMMA4 on steam yet, nor do some kind of redemption, or whatever it's called, for those who already own either WMMA4 or 5. To me it's not a problem, as I said, since I already have the latest versions anyway, but I was just curious if there were any plans regarding that possibility.</p>
