Where possible, the game will be released without DRM. Some online publishers include their own DRM as a matter of policy, and of those guys, I am only signing with the ones that have light and non-intrusive DRM. My goal is to give people a reasonable choice about where to get the game, and if they don’t like someone’s DRM or someone else’s launcher client, they can get it from whoever they like most.

I am also in the "World of Goo ain't all that" camp and I am looking forward to playing Braid. The gaming world has little love for PC players so it's been a long wait :(
I'll get it on steam, cuz they'll most likely have it on sale at launch or sometime; but I've always wanted to try stardock's system thing, but nothing's really caught my eye that much except for SoaSE. Though Sins is something I play only with close friends, which none of them like or are interested in that game.

Who's mamboozo?
"Of course you didn't like World of Goo, it was a PC/Wii product."Oh yeah! Stick it to the man! You don't even know who Mamboozo is (my guess is Mike Tatum, whose video game preferences we know nothing about) but you have no problem accusing him of bias against the Wii and PC.
Don't be an idiot.

Jeff has stated why he's not a fan of World of Goo and it has nothing to do with the platforms it's available on. I'll say it again: don't be an idiot.

I believe what I want when there is evidence of it.
Here's a comment he left on Dalai's blog:
Oh, you so crazy!Note that he not only gives a reason why he's not a big fan of World of Goo, but also mentions how much he enjoys WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Guess which system that's on.Really don't understand all the World of Goo love out there. It's neat and all, but... yeah. Not one of my favorite games of the year. Obviously, same goes for Brawl, though I guess I'd rather play World of Goo than Brawl. Heck, I'd rather "play" Wii Fit than Brawl. Also, we didn't review Blast Works. Not sure where you're getting this "full star higher" nonsense. Blast Works certainly has some neat ideas. Wish they were in a better game.And if I may respond in kind, if you don't like WarioWare: Smooth Moves you suck shit out of a lead pipe marked "shit delivery system."Aaaaand lastly, I really like Mega Man 9 right up to the point where they make you start playing it. That's not a classic revival, that's a hate factory.
"I believe what I want when there is evidence of it.Shit, he likes one game on the system. I guess I was wrong. I just need to get over the fact that just about ever game Jeff or this website likes, I dislike, and vice versa. I dislike racing games, fighting games, wrestling games, skating games, console FPSs, and I am "meh" about GTA. Not much left is there?

You have yet to prove anything to back up your claim; while I've managed to provide an example to the contrary, and can also prove that Mamboozo is an alias for Mike Tatum if you even care.
Great Game: Check
Found 15 bucks: Check
DRM Light/Free: Check
Creator Of said game cares about user (my) rights as a consumer: Double Check and Gold Star Sticker
DAY ONE PURCHASE HERE!!
Wohoo!
This should work on my crappy laptop!
I haven't even brought Braid on the 360 yet, I've heard pretty good things about it though.
Maybe I should check out "World of Goo" sometime soon. But I am tired of whenever Jeff says he is not that interested in it and then people crap their pants. Seriously, give the dude a break. You can't expect him to like every single game that has been generally well-received.
As for Braid, I already have it but, for anyone who hasn't played it yet, buy it once it comes out. It is amazing and the price seems right.
"I'm guessing it won't be coming out on Steam if Stardock announced it. The worlds first Impulse exclusive (lie) perhaps!? Alternatively, probably not, because Steam is rad."Jonathon Blow said on his blog "Stardock is one of two or three Windows PC-oriented download sites that I have signed with. The others haven’t made their announcements yet, but when they do, I’ll post it here."
So it could very well be coming to Steam, since Stardock isn't the only service offering the game.
Also, "If Braid launches on Steam, it will support Achievements."
And here's another juicy tidbit from Jonathon Blow:
I am going to start talking to Sony soon about a PSN version. A lot of people have been asking for that. But of course I can’t promise anything until a deal is signed!
If you like to drink and get drunk or smoke and get high, they made a game for you. It's called Braaaaid. There ain't no point to the game. It's like Mario from the future. See, Mario's wearing a business suit and dyed his hair orange!
Hmm... Well, I really want to play this game, but if he's trying to get a PSN version out there... I might wait and get it there.
Cool. Braid was one of the reasons why I wanted to get a 360, but seeing as that may take some time I'll definitely scoop this game up if it comes out on Steam. To be perfectly honest I'd much rather play it on the PC than the 360 anyway.
"If I do buy the game, it will be on Impulse. The reliance gamers seem to put upon Steam is worrisome. Remember people, competition is good!
"
"And here's another juicy tidbit from Jonathon Blow:Wow. That is big news if it actually goes through. This means I can buy Braid three times! SWEET!I am going to start talking to Sony soon about a PSN version. A lot of people have been asking for that. But of course I can’t promise anything until a deal is signed!
