Brink: Steam & Anticheat

(maggol) #81

STEAM support laziness, going out and walk a few blocks to buy game is not going to kill you, right? Except cars or mad drunker or crazy criminal :tongue:

Indeed, running a marathon, joining the army, getting a six-pack and becoming a professional model should be mandatory if you desire to buy Brink.

well still got a few months to go, better get started

I hope no steam registration for play the game, and not steam VAC for anticheat.

Steam is the evil for all hardcore players, i hope PB for brink, and much, and much, and much dedicated server in Brink.

Much members of SD are pc gamers, i hope they understand why steam no god for brink.

Steam is no deity, that is correct.

“Steam is nothing, imagination is anything. buy Brink, save Earth/Ark/Tapirs/Soup/Macron !!”

Steam has a new UI beta out today. Just grabbed it myself and it’s looking like a pretty extensive overhaul.

No it doesn’t fix the bigger issues people have but it’s finally a sign Valve isn’t sitting on it’s arse waiting for the competition to catch up.

Now if you’re excuse me I have a games library to organise. :slight_smile:

There are hints that Steam might be landing on Mac OS soon, here comes hoping for a Linux client as well!

(Corpse) #89

Well, looks like it is pretty much cofirmed that Steam is comming to the Mac OS.
Check here.

Apparantly Valve sent some teaser images to several high profile mac related sites. Macrumors has collected all the images. Seems like Valve is showing it’s sense of humour on this one.:D:stroggbanana::stroggbanana:

Is that why they changed the Steam UI and gave it big huge letters and buttons to make it easy to click? :smiley:

MMmm Steam vs Appstore. Now that’s going to be one fanboy fight to watch.

(Nail) #92

iPhone games on Steam ?

(Corpse) #93

What fight? Steam delivers the games for the Mac and the Appstore delivers them for the iphone/ipod. I fail to see any tension building up there. They both supply for 2 totally different markets, there is absolutely no overlap.

Actually you can almost say that Steam will become the appstore (or gamestore might be a more appropiate name) for the mac.

(SockDog) #94

You don’t think Apple is looking for a means to bring the appstore to the desktop? And that when they do comparisons wouldn’t be drawn, names called and deals struck?

(brbrbr) #95

im vote for PB.
its intrusive, but its works.
especially if enforced at each connect[at full-scale checks], like in AA2/AA3, made.

(Corpse) #96

I figure Apple would have done that already. That is, if they wanted to. Apple is known/notorius for its lack of game support. That is why practicly the whole Mac community is so exited about even the possibility of Steam coming to the Mac.

And comparisons are drawn anyways, no matter how thin the connection between the two is. Your own post is a good example of that. Everybody does that.

thats should be more adequate 4 current state of Apple “buziness”… sandcastles over chineese-prison-camps-workforce, dreaming over BS in PC’s, throwing shit to competing companies, instead improming own “products”… whatever.

Apple just try to reclaim main focus-group, on which company depends in past days.
such as brilliant/key-people, wich lack of computers/IT-market-understanding and lack of resources/time/L&F-tolerance to move to something robust, well-made 4om it.

so in short, yes, Apple don’t care about gamers at all.
and never[SO seriously]do it in past, btw.
aside MS or Sony, for example.

You may have said the same about ebooks a few months ago. Well I’ll guess we’ll see, if we see.

I’m a dedicated gamer. I generally put in 20+ hours a week into online coop gaming and single player, and I love Steam.
If at all possible I will buy a game through Steam instead of another method. Actually scratch that - the only games I buy are on Steam. Being in Australia, our game prices are severely marked up from the rest of the world… some BS about importing tax… Import tax is NOT 100% of the game. Anyway…

I love everything about Steam - Achievements, being able to see your achs vs friends, being able to use in-game overlay to check the web, friends, chat, community.

I fail to see anything bad about Steam and only good. If you are playing on a server where there are cheaters, grab yourself a tissue, and change servers ffs.

games that require a full time internet connection to play offline are a fail to me
