Without the profits made from RDKF through steam I doubt that the departure that has occurred would of arisen.

Look at the trouble Unknown-Worlds (makers of Natural-Selection, the most popular half-life mod) are having. They've spent like 2 years trying to get investment, and they've certainly got a good track record. There may be other routes, but they are hard.

Not all studios want to go down the indie gaming route. If you’re a new developer wanting to do a next gen game, then you’re not going to be able to do it without financial backing.
