Looks like Desura is going to make a comeback sometime soon, as the new owners OnePlay have announced they have acquired it.
From their news post:
Quote
Desura, Indie Royale, and Daily Royale is now a part of the OnePlay family.
We are working hard to bring back Desura, IndieRoyale and DailyRoyale to deliver you more awesome indie games.
Bad Juju Games, the previous owner, went bankrupt and pretty much took Desura down with it. Right now the Desura store doesn't even seem to be online anymore.
The new owners say Desura will continue to operate (once it's back) by itself, and they are working to keep everyone's accounts alive, that includes games you own on it. So that's good news.
Still, I can't help but feel Desura doesn't really have a place with itch.io around. Competition is good I guess!
They face a rather large uphill battle after all the issues Desura had towards the end, it will be interesting to see what they do with it. I wonder if they will drop the desktop client, or revive that too.
Thanks for letting me know Ivancillo!
