Originally by: Ix Forres EVE has approximately 250,000 users.
Steam has approximately 13,000,000 users.
Assume that 2% of that 13,000,000 playerbase tries EVE out. Suddenly EVE has more than doubled in required capacity.
Expect the whole cluster to be on Jita-like levels of performance unless CCP has something up their sleeve.
This is exactly the issue... the servers are bad enough as it is, but nearly double the load.... what on earth are they thinking.

B) "omg omg CS:S kiddies invasion! the sky is falling omg!"... Honestly, do you really believe on this? Ok the server MIGHT not handle with the influx of people, I agree, but that's it. How many of those CS:S kiddies will stay arround after they get ganked for the first time?
NOOOOoooOOOOOoooooOOOOOOooo. First eve becomes available on steam, then the CS kiddies come on for a trial, before understanding the game they have their parents credit card in hand. Subscription!!
Now, the forums swell to whine levels never before seen. CCP at first ignores it and hopes(for a few weeks) that the new players will adapt and stfu.
This never happens. On Steam + 23 days the marketing department within CCP becomes self aware, this new entity called OMGWOWNet, takes control of trinity, CCP offices, and not unlike the matrix, the devs themselves.
Why won't you listen soylent wow is newbies! SOYLENT WOW IS NEWBIES!!
I agree, if CCP didn't actually listen to the whines I'd say bring it on but I think this will only be damaging to the game.

Originally by: Norwood Franskly Add me to the "I hope they don't make Eve steam only crowd"
What is CCP going to do about the Mac and Linux users, since steam is a single platform piece of crap...
I highly doubt they would, I think this is just aiming to make the game more accessible and widely known among other gamers.
