Wishlisted so hard.
Had no clue it was coming to Steam. Awesome. One huge benefit over Star Citizen.
Also, many of those who played both preferred Elite.

uh oh .... I smell a shitstorm coming ...
also - I LOVE when devs say "oh yeah, you can add our game as a non-steam game and enjoy all the benefits" ... yeah, because that's TOTALLY what we always want when we're asking for steam keys for stuff we already bought ...

Well, there it is.
Oh sweet, just saw Elite: Dangerous on the carousel. Been waiting for that to finally come to Steam.
Hope it gets achievements though. I think I spent a couple hundred hours doing all the prerequisites needed to capture a Xenon-Q ship in X3 Terran Conflict, but it's one of the most satisfying cheevos I've ever done.

"We are assessing player feedback"
They are basically provoking people to start a clash.

This always annoys me when developers do this, it's such a relatively small thing to just give your customers Steam keys and make them happy, and the "Oh you can just add it to Steam like this..." nonsense is just useless. ESPECIALLY when they said the game wasn't coming to Steam in the first place then out of the blue it pops up on Steam.
I imagine they will be getting a fair amount of "fan feedback" and they will change their minds.
Shitstorm will occur, devs will give in
probably

Oh yes please. Peter hasn't ruined enough of my dreams just yet... He's still a game or two away.
Speaking of Peter and ruined dreams, why the fuck hasn't anyone ever made a spiritual successor to Theme Hospital? It's a fucking amazing game, ya'll.
Ya'll... Ya'll got any more of that Half Life?
I've got the shakes man...
You can play it just fine though. The fixes'll be retro-active so even if the bug hits you it's just temporary.
I did. I even called it, I just can't find the actual post where I did. But I said something along the lines of "I'll wait for it to launch on Steam"
And my stance was further strengthened by Frontier's financial troubles.

I am super excited for it, but not buying it right now. Too many other games to play, but yes I'll be buying it this year, most likely in the fall. I still play Dungeon Keeper to this day!

Yeah, that's not what people want. If I'd known that the game would come out on Steam and I wouldn't get my backer key I'd have waited and bought it from Steam directly.
oh, here's an even better one ... yup - shitstorm a-brewin'
Their wording is, word for word, the exact same thing they said about Steam to start with. No plans at all to release on Steam, after which they listed a bunch of bollocks reasons.
Glad to see they've realised they want, ugh, you know, more money.

Stand alone client.
Pretty sure it was a joke. Heavy looks like a nick for TF2 fans aka PC gamer at least.
I apply Poe's law by default.

Indeed. Us early backers better damn well get Steam keys. I would have waited for a Steam release had I known it was coming.

Yeah it's not going to end well.
They probably want people to pay for it again. >.> I already spent a lot on the damn Kickstarter, they ain't getting any more. Especially after the broken promises.
Which is why they kept demurring or denying whenever the question of the game coming to Steam came up. Reminds me of what happened with the Baldur's Gate remakes too.
"Nope, just tell em to buy it on our digital distribution site, so we can haz all the moneys."
"What do you mean a lot of people won't buy it if it's not on Steam?"
"Ugh fiiine, sell it on Steam"
"Lolz no, we won't give people who bought it from us a Steam key"
And the early backers get screwed. I would never back a Kickstarter if the issue of Steam keys isn't made clear in writing up front, which it was, in the case of Pillars.
pretty much like every other mmo
Ah right, cheers. I wonder what's stopping them not letting you use existing credentials? I understand why in MMO's as that's regards to subscriptions and continuing payments that could fuck things up but isn't ED pretty much free from all that?

tbh some certain "cinematic" games are better at 30 FPS for immersion, but that's just my opinion :3

Thank god this is PC and you can lock it to 30 if you want =D

Everything points at Frontier trying to get us to buy the game again. It's sad, but seems to be the aim here.
I'm playing GTA IV with ENB right now and locking it to 30 with heavy motion blur because the framerate is so erratically trash, so I agree, 30 can be great sometimes!

True cinematic experience is at 23.976 FPS, so...
Of course Poe's law was applied by default, when some console gamers generally act like parody accounts, you simply couldn't tell them apart.

Just gome home, PoE patch, yay !
It was a Path of Exlie patch >_<

Goddamn that looks great.
I'd imagine the current sub they're using gives everyone who buys a code to redeem on their frontier account. So theoretically, at the moment, everyone who already owns the game would get a copy they could give to someone for free.
They'd have to make a separate one which wouldn't give a key to redeem. Probably more effort than they'd think it would be worth.
The thing I found even with vanilla GTAIV is that I can go from one scenario being GPU limited to another just around the corner being CPU limited. Trying to find a happy medium in the distance and density settings was a pain in the arse.
Gsync/freesync please save us from terrible ports

isn't there some sort of replay mode you can disable in GTAIV that helps with performance? I remember reading about it shortly after launch
The hilarious thing is that I go from playing open world game GTAIV which looks kinda like butt and has framerate flying all over the place, to Far Cry 4 which looks gorgeous and is locked 60 constant.
The WORST part, is I'm visiting family so I'm playing on a 720p TV, so even playing the game at 1366x768 with a GTX 970 it runs like trash.
Man the performance is such a damn shame.
