I know that there is going to be a 'break', while LP works on Steam release. Has their been any indication how long that break is going to be?
"Know" is a strong choice of a word here for something we have basically zero infos about. Unless I missed something lately, all we know about his Steam plans are that he's supposedly gonna work on a disney-level animation trailer for AWAM's Steam release after this current PD is finished.
Is he actually going to do it? Nobody knows. Is he currently working on a Steam-friendly version of AWAM? Nobody knows. Is he gonna take a break on the game's development to push a Steam release after this PD? Nobody knows.
Pretty sure everything said so far is pure speculation unless, as I said before, I've missed out on something more..tangible. This entire Steam thing could turn out to be nothing. To me it sounded like another excuse as infact L&P connected a Steam release with funds to hire people which, as we all know, he's never done anything to make it happen. Not in the years prior to his Steam plans, and likely not in the following years either.
But I could be wrong. One could argue that him considering to remove the sidejobs is a means to make a Steam release easier (not by much anyway). Another indicator could be his move from Germany to Switzerland, as AVN's are not allowed on Steam in Germany. No clue if that is any different in Switzerland, though.
