MMORPG Tycoon is extremely well made and you're adding stuff all the time, but once you have it close to a "final" vision you may want to consider publishing it. I'm sure that if you posted it on Steam for 10$ or so you would get a good number of sales. And they handle distribution of updates and other things as well.

Even if you want your game to be free, you can sell it on their store and give it away free on the site. Plenty of people walked to a store to buy a physical copy of Counterstrike, even though they could get it free (at the time).

This isn't exactly commercial quality yet, so if anything, I think it should be sold for Steam's absolute minimum of $5. Then again, for a free game, this site seems good. It's already past 1.0, so I really hope it won't cost anything at all, ever. :3

At the moment, I have no plans to ever sell MMORPG Tycoon for money. It's a hobby project for me. If I started selling it, then it'd become work instead of play! :)

All work and no play makes Trevor a bad developer. :<

Glad to hear that it might always be free though. :3

I'm not sure, is it possible to put games up for free on steam? It would be a great way to distribute the game.

Yes, it's possible. The only problem would be getting Valve to like it enough. It doesn't exactly have a lot of people in the community either.

Well, when 1.1 comes out, I can show it to Facepunch again. With all the improvements, it'll likely have more lasting value. I'd definatley like to see this game on Steam, it'd be a great way to get a larger fan base.
