Oh thank fuck for that. My RMA which I sent off on Monday which has been mysteriously missing for the past 2 days despite being signed for by someone called 'Colin' has show up.

Everything points at Frontier trying to get us to buy the game again. It's sad, but seems to be the aim here.

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.

I guess the effort required to make a standalone sub would be to the tune of £39.99.

Will you launch the game on Steam?

David Braben: No. We've got to support the game with our own back end anyway, so I don't see the benefit of it.

Well, I would suggest the benefit is 100m users, which is a huge potential audience.

David Braben: Yes, that's true. It's something we would look at, but it would have to then interface with what we're doing, and the two would potentially conflict. We have to provide the back end.

Thank you for your time.

I wonder if they'll consider this as being "enough feedback" ;)

This is why publishers love the, 'no current plans' answer to questions. It placates potential buyers and leaves options open for the future.

It's bullshit, but it's really the perfect reply.

the saddest thing about GTAV is that now that they're not doing steam keys outside of the steam store GTAV won't see the heavy discounting from other stores like other rockstar.2k games do unless you're willing to settle for a social club key.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

JS made one that works pretty decent. Though only works when its running while your logged in.

Actually, it should work even if the Steam client isn't running. You do need to be signed in to Steam with the program itself though, not sure if that's what you meant. ;)

I've also started a Steam group where I'll be posting updates and things if anyone is interested.

Also, spares:

That reply and avatar just makes me laugh. Judging by the replies I guess he's not joking? Amazing.

It took me 30 minutes to beat the second stage of Freedom Planet (hard). Was expecting a short ten minute pick up and play.

Can anyone help me with this Darksiders 1 issue? The video cutscenes do not play AT ALL. This is apparently due to some codec issue, but my WMP is latest ver. and I use Media Player Classic to watch videos. I asked in the game's Steam boards but no reply.
How can I make video cutscenes play when running the game?
I don't have this issue with DS2 btw.

What's the issue? 4chan is not the Internet Boogie Monster some people think it is. There's a couple bad boards on it, just stay away from those and it's actually a pretty nice site.

im pretty sure 4chan is the worst, most insensitive website out there. a couple of boards won't change that.

Yeah. Most stages are 2 levels pasted together with multiple bosses to deal with. I made it up to the final boss but I don't feel like going back to it.
