Question about steam

Will the full game be on steam

from Sins Forums

I am interested in preordering this game, I loved the initial even though it managed to suck up HOURS of my time whenever I played it.

The thing is while it says the beta is requires steam will the full game? Basically I want the game on steam, I'm willing to wait for it to come up on steam if the current preorder doesnt activate on steam. Wouldnt mind jumping into the beta if this works as I think it does.

Rebellion uses Steamworks. So yes it activates on Steam.

Thought so, needed confirmation. Quite a departure from the last games which were exclusive to stardock's platform for a long time. Glad they are now all on steam, I dislike juggling these services.

And I dislike having to use steam no matter what, but I'm glad you're happy. :thumbsup:

I have never understood the dislike for steam (or in a few cases hate). There is no other system out there as of this moment that

provides the social aspects that steam does, not even close which along with stability are the two most important things to me. I run

steam on three different machines and have never had any of my systems crash due to steam, or anything else unwanted occur for

that matter. Through steam I have the ability to IM almost all my gameing / real life friends with a single product which was unheard of

in the past. And finally nobody else can boast of such a fine library of games under a single roof.

Steam has become like WalMart. And some people hate WalMart.

That would be funny if it wasn't true.

That is just it, the social side of steam is brilliant. Its just I don't like that a store, whose ultimate goal is to sell me stuff above all else, is the one that has developed it and has become essential to PC gaming (whether valve had anything to do with the game or not). If the steam social features where apart of an open source project or even a company that made its money from ads, I'd be less nervous. Eventually I thinks such an open source project will come along as more developers like EA start requiring their own store apps, but until then I'm not going to be a happy camper with them.

There's also the fact that its offline mode is utter crap. I don't mind periodically needing to be connected to the internet to check things (in a way sort of like rhapsody or I assume other music subscription services), but needing to go online first then go offline is just stupid, since for me most offline time is unexpected due to outages.
