$100 pay wall and the fact that Blitz3D doesn't work well with Steamworks.
That, and no one cares.

What CommanderMark said. Also it's not really in a state to be on Steam in the spotlight.

But you can't deny that it would be much more popular then.

No it wouldn't. If you haven't noticed, Markiplier, JELlegendz, and PewDiePie have all played Containment Breach, with the first two being the most recent. I'd say the popularity has piked and now is steadily dying due to CB reaching what I'd call the end of it's lifeforce.

Pretty much what CommanderMark and Cridone said (except the paywall part, I've already paid the Greenlight submission fee). I don't see much benefit in adding it to Steam and don't really have time or motivation to start integrating Steamworks, setting up a Greenlight campaign and giving post-launch support for the game.

I know the chance of getting CB onto Steam is very very low, but I would like to mention that InnocentSam already did a Steamworks implementation of Containment Breach, so it wouldn't be THAT hard implementing it right?

I don't even see a point in releasing it on steam, you can get it easily from here, so what's the point? Also, scp wiki owns the rights to SCP's pretty much so they would get the money if you had to pay for it.

Nope, both the game and the wiki are under
