ToxicFire Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2008.01.22 22:47:00 - [1] Im pritty sure alot of people are gonna turn around and go if eve goes on Steam they'll leave eve.

ToxicFire Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2008.01.22 22:56:00 - [3] Originally by: Tarminic Originally by: ToxicFire Im sure someone else will field this question its not really anything technical its a matter of personal preference. A large number of people appeared to have issue with it take a look at how many people are still playing the pre-steam version of cs to high light it. I still don't get it. What logical reason would you have for quitting EVE if its available on Steam? If steam is just used as another download platform thats fine but the second im forced to use steam as my connection path into eve thats where I start not liking it. ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

I really doubt that CCP would do that... and even if they did I don't think itd be a big issue. Steam is a decent, solid program. I rarely buy games on anything else nowadays. However, I'm certainly worried about the influx of FPS-n00bs that are bound to follow with its release. :S Ah at last someone with sense in their head, I never said steam was a bad system I do use it, I just don't want eve and steam together. edit: Ok ok i hold up my hand's I surrender flicks the DD switch to on, I may have jumped to conclusions I havent been a heavy user of steam in the past couple of years so my opinions might not be upto date so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt but I would have preferred to have heard this in a dev blog rather than by a news article on steam having to be posted to eve's own forums. ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

ToxicFire Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2008.01.22 23:09:00 - [5] Originally by: McTecman To further expand on this - lots of games are available on Steam that are available otherwise and it's not mandatory for you to use Steam, since the two playerbases can play together. So stop whining. This will probably gather some exposure and bring new blood into the game, so I'd say this is good news. At the risk of been flamed again, here comes Jita MK2 :P ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content. Mail [email protected] if you have questions. -Hango

Because all PCs work exactly the same way with all applications and when they don't it's always for an easily-diagnosed, simply-fixed reason that's nothing to do with the software in question. You have control over your PC. You have the ability to change software, hardware, OS, everything. There is no magic or mystery to PCs. There is no PC problem that does not have a solution. There are only PC users that don't know how to find the solution or are unwilling. Unfortunately this is most people. Cmon everyone thats even developed the tiniest bit of software knows that you can never duplicate the environment a piece of software is developed on unless its the exact same system with the exact same data stored in the exact same position at the exact same time. Yes you can get close but even systems in the same office can have issues with the same software sometimes ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

CCP really needs to consult with its customer base when it does things like this. Er...if EVE going on Steam will make you quit, you probably shouldn't be playing EVE anyway. Actually Steam is a great service. NoCD patch, just require an internet connection running. Should I unsubscribe to profit ?

ToxicFire Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2008.01.23 01:30:00 - [8] Originally by: Ursula LeGuinn What the hell? People are babbling and gibbering about an influx of new players? New players are ultimately good for both the game and CCP. If you don't see why, then you may be required to wear the 'Tard Hat for a few days. Speaking of the 'Tard Hat, we already have plenty of 'tards in EVE as it is, who name their characters "darksephiroth12", blunder into gatecamps on autopilot with a hold full of faction modules, lose all their ISK playing the 0.01 game in Jita because they aren't smart enough to do it right, et cetera. I don't think a Steam release is going to change the overall percentage of 'tards significantly. Thats like saying more and more water is good for the human body ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

Nominated for most useless post ever :P Would ya care to elaborate more than the press release, will steam be a required part of the new architecture, or will steam be simply an ADDITIONAL download and marketing platform having this kind of information will stop people having knee-jerk reactions over this like I did earlier in the thread. ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

ToxicFire Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2008.01.23 13:04:00 - [10] Originally by: Paulson Also the extra revenue from new players will be able to go toward the next big hardware upgrade so eve can be made to handle more players. Sorry i have to say this because it keeps cropping up, Do you honestly think CCP is so short of cash that they're unable to upgrade the the hardware. Also there's a time delay after a large portion of new players join and CCP decides and what specs the new hardware needs to be built to, im not trying to be negative but the problem of growth and its demand on the servers is hard to predict so its extremely hard for ccp to decide what hardware and when to deploy it. ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

I don't. You get exactly what you deserve, an account and the ability to log in. In-depth discussions about the details of upcoming business decisions are normally reserved for stakeholders. By many business models customers are considered stakeholders what you may be thinking of is shareholders. But the guy is right, one of the things that's made eve so good has been CCP's relationship with its customer base and the back and forth between them. Unexpected decisions make customers jumpy what might happen next. ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

ToxicFire Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2008.01.23 13:51:00 - [12] Originally by: CCP Morpheus Steam will not be required to play EVE. It will simply be available via steam for those who want to play through that.
