So it's a big opportunity to get discovered by lots of new players :-) I think games such as XCom have helped "normalise" turn-based play so I'm hopeful that it will be broadly well received. I'm sure there will be plenty of negative comments too, but that comes with the territory. Steam USED to be the WORST digital Download store on the web.  It was forced on me when I bought Civilization V and I hated it.  For some games it acted as a DRM copy protection thing and you could ONLY play the game if connected to the net.  But now that open Wi-Fi is so much more common that's not much of an issue anymore. GameStop's "Impulse Driven" app Used to be the best app.  and cheapest.  then Steam got the brilliant idea to allow people to put in a code from a retail version (or Impulse version) and it would be available to play via Steam With steam your computer could blow up and your dog could eat your game disk (or cat could pee on it) and it could be trash, and you wouldn't lose it!  Just re-install from Steam!  (yes these 2 things happened to me, Cats peed on Sims 2 and my puppy ate Space Empires V). Then Impulse Driven / GameStop started losing their edge as "cheaper" when Steam started summer sales, weekly deals, flash sales, daily deals, achievements, sell-able collector cards...  And now GameStop no longer sells digital DL through its app.  In fact they also erased all my DL codes for all the games I bought from them and wont return my angry emails!  lol One problem with Steam is the Greenlight Early Access games are often scams. ---People make a demo and get it greenlit, then sell it early access and take the money and run.  do a google for Earth: 2066 or Air Control for some examples. ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Aug 16, 2014, 7:19 pm Last edited Aug 16, 2014, 7:21 pm by StCrispin

But I know a lot of folks who still thinks it's the devil in bit form, just because of past experiences. ......................... vet wv zom marshal paintladder cont Posted Aug 16, 2014, 7:22 pm

*StCrispin* Beasts of the Lair Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,657 Joined: Feb 13, 2012 So far the Steam forums are leaning towards "skeptical" but I'm sure the negative flames will come. DW is not your typical twitch shooter action game that many people on steam seem to expect. I tried to leave some positive comments without looking like a Dev Alt. Some changes / improvements in areas we have mentioned in the past (like more dynamic behind the scenes politics, economy, faction things... Stuff that required more players that we have talked about from time to time) would undermine a lot of negativity ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Aug 16, 2014, 8:34 pm Last edited Aug 16, 2014, 8:54 pm by StCrispin
