Is Brink Steamworks or Games for Windows? (in reference to boxart on shop page)

if I remember correctly, “Games for Windows” was/is a project to clarify PC requirements for games, so if a game meets some requirements in regard to PC specs it gets the GfW-logo on the box.
Has been created due to consoles I think, just like you see the PS3- or XBOX360-logo on the DVD-Box and know your console is able to run it. Though it didn’t work out so well, due to the variety of PC hardware.

That’s pretty much it, I think. But most publishers just steer clear and put the top-left “PC DVD Rom” corner strip.

I don’t really bother about that, I usually get my games in english and often enough there are austrian version which aren’t cut/censored.

Okay cool thanks :slight_smile: I ended up deciding to get it from the digital download Game though, since for personal reasons I don’t want a hard copy rocking up on my front door. Anyway, it’s bought now, so yay! Can’t wait for release =D, I just hope it doesn’t eat into my study time…D=
