"Konami has clarified a couple details about Silent Hill: Homecoming's release date and its distribution on PC. Following up on some reports coming out of Leipzig, the company informs us that the time frame for the North American release is still September, and Europe will apparently need to wait until later in '08.
We have also been informed that Valve's Steam digital distribution service is "the only method of distribution" for Silent Hill: Homecoming on the PC. Konami currently has no plans for a retail box version, which certainly is an interesting strategy."
Where does it say anything about a DVD release or that Steam will be US only? What the hell?

I know the cost of doing a PC port is such that it's not some casual thing they can do but I think if your audience for a game is on Steam and you don't think the game will get retail traction, put it on Steam instead of retail.
