Be serious. All the expenses you listed are tiny compared to that cashflow. It costs USD 10M to create a decent pc-game over 2 years. It does _not_ cost double figure millions a month to administer WOW. .bog.

Ads are confirmed for the US. Could some non-US players confirm whether or not they have in game advertising in 2142 at your location? I'm told Aussies do not. I'm especially interested in whether or not European players get ads. .bog.

Well, if it is any consolidation, I think it makes the mod look stupid. .bog.

I don't think a petition is going to change anything either. I'm going to protest with my dollar. Odds are that isn't going to cut it, either, but hey, that's life. .bog.

GBP 5 says he is talking about "loool". If so, then that is some pretty immature moderating right there. .bog.

I can see how some would give Valve the benefit of a doubt. If they are many then maybe Valve should consider making the ads optional... .bog.

Bigger budget may be the same as bigger games, but the bandwagon these days is that bigger games do not automatically turn into better games. One could just as easily say "bigger budgets means lazier devs taking more time making more pointlessly bloated games". I'm not saying that is how...

But if it is successful in 1.6 it will be implemented in more/all Valve games. .bog. - very sad

First, I'd like to say that even though the game is not perfect, and certainly has more crashes than I would like, I still love it. That said, let's look at this rationally: 1. The full game is very similar to the demo. If you like the demo then you _should_ like the game. 2. You can look...

christ = short x = shorter =>xmas = lazy And it b proved. .bog.

I think it is worth USD50, but it _is_ cheaper retail. If cou can find it. ebgames.com lists it at USD20 but doesn't actually have it in stock. .bog.

Not necessary, but they obviously want a digital distribution alternative for prey. Also, many of the triton customers are fans of digital distribution, and allthough a boxed copy would have been good enough, boxed copy + steam is much better. .bog.

3drealms had to accept steam since nobody else were around to pick up the mess after Triton. 3drealms didn't make the move towards steam, 2kgames did, but ofcourse someone at 3drealms had to ok the deal. Scott Miller is currently on vacation..... :D If 3drealms got this shoved down their...

It is true that one of the heads of 3drealms (scott miller) was very negative about using steam for the distribution of prey. His reasoning was mostly flawed, and it seems that now that their partner in digital distribution (triton) is dead he is man enough to realize that steam isn't such a bad...

As the president he still has power, but I think the people behind him has lost almost all the influence they have had on US politics, and that is what matters. .bog.

Sounds very fake. .bog.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic did allow activation from retail to steam. Also I think Red Orchestra: Ostfront 1941-1945 required steam out of the box. .bog.
