It'll be like every other MMO. Start off with a sub or B2P. Struggle, go F2P on its' own for a handful of months, then in about a year or so launch on Steam because each step always creates a huge influx of new players.
No.
I recall one company pulling its MMO a few months or so after releasing on Steam and forcing Steam users to migrate to the non-Steam version (so as to remove Steam Wallet from the equation).

Actually, you're right!
And now I remember that Wildstar has appeared on steamdb or something like that back then.
I'm not sure where to ask this, but this seems to be PC Games General and thus the best case. A couple of months ago, I bought Diablo 3 RoS through G2A. Every month since, I've been charged roughly $1.70 from them, despite not purchasing anything since then. Says something about G2A shield. What's going on, and how can I stop it?
Forgive me, I am new to PC gaming lol.
Plus I was salty about a Diablo 3 sale ending literally hours before I got my paycheck.
I wasn't laughing at you but at how scummy G2A is. I knew they offered it but I figured it was a one time fee per game.
Honestly, the wording seemed to imply that it was a one time fee. I thought for sure that it was. First time I saw a charge pop up I just figured they were charging me for last time. But now I know it's a monthly thing.
It's not too bothersome since it's only $1.70, but shit, I could get a humble bundle or something for that much.
Pretty game you blought there. It would be a pity if something happened to it.

Ubisoft used to charge you to be able to download games beyond the first year month. You had to pay download insurance, and that shit only gave you another 2 years of downloads. Shit cost 12 dollars for certain titles.
Cancel that shit.
Cancel that shit.
Yeah, that's Digital River for you.
I have not heard that name uttered in so long. Not since my sansa mp3 players.
Nightmare fuel
cancel that shit from your paypal

I still have a Sansa clip+
Gotta check my Napster for new albums to download.
G2A is taking a monthly insurance fee from its users? How can people still think that this site is trustworthy or legit?
That was so bad. :X
You know, Imagination still got the best graphics.
That sounds actually like a good idea.

Don't talk to loud. You may find your windows broken, your hype deflated or your waifu ntr'd some day. They listen, sharpening their baseball bats, reloading their horseheads, assimilating the exterminators.

what the hell is a sansa
is it related to salsa
those enemies breathing fire in dishonored is easily the worst thing in the game, who even carries around a bottle of alcohol just to do that, it's slow, and it doesn't actually kill you but they do it just to annoy you basically

Seconded. The motion has now passed.
We're almost at the 1.850.000$ stretch goal, yes!
Less than 200k for the final stretch goal

It hit that a while ago thanks to PayPal funding or somesuch. Shapeshifting mask is a go!
That DM mode could be big. I really do hope we get there.

I know it's too much to ask, but I'd love another homebrew-MMO engine a la Neverwinter Nights. Main game wasn't particularly good, but some of the persistent worlds crafted by players were quite imaginative back in the day.
D:OS was a looker in places, so I wouldn't mind having a nice engine like theirs running such a thing, either~

My trusty iPod Nano is dying (battery barely holds a charge now), so I've been looking around for a new player, and specifically the Sansa Clip+... difficult to find in Australia though, it seems, so I might have to resort to some dodgy 'retailer' on eBay. Hmmm.
Anyone had a toy around with the Sansa Clip Jam (their newest/most current model, I believe)?

On topic (?) - received two spammy level 5 (hidden profile) Steam friend invites today, after having not seen one for maybe 2-3 months. Hopefully the floodgates aren't about to open again somehow.

It'd be cool, but you need a robust and easily customisable base game to build on for it to work. If you just release a dev kit and server stuff and let it loose it will die a horrible death due to lack of interest.
Still blows my mind that Persistent Worlds happened at all. NWN's multiplayer stuff was meant for small-scale hosted projects, and instead ballooned into micro MMOs, complete with their own subcommunities. It's just incredible stuff.
They are my number one favourite company for publishing so many great shmup games
I think they actually help with the porting and translation of the games they publish as well.
Another company that I'm beginning to like is H2 Interactive. They are small here in the states, but they have a HUGE presence in Korea.

The haters stand in unity. How odd.
Really, it's probably because the Ubisoft formula is so done to death. They even had their car game pulling that stuff, for goodness sakes! Ubisoft sees it as this perfected formula, even though its 1,000-person teams struggle to crank this formulaic content out. Their whole approach is just out of hand, to the point that it's a joke these days.
Warning for anyone thinking of buying 80 Days which just unlocked - there is NO game content. You can install it, but it's a 0 byte package which has no files, so the game won't launch. Lol.
...Wow. Has that ever happened before? 'Cause that's crazy.
Edit: SteamGAF to the rescue.
Sooner or later GAF will hate every game. Some games GAF hates before release and some after release.
I personally don't like some things in new AC but I will play it sooner or later.

Yeah, the game looks good, afterall. I don't play AC games anymore though.
I wonder how was AC3 on gaf?

Had no idea it even released this early. Will buy once that is sorted out.
Eh, bought it any way. Should be fixed by the time I get to play it later in the day.
Many times. The Witcher 3, Tropico 5 for example.
Store package is simply missing access to correct depots (files): https://steamdb.info/sub/71503/depots/ compare to testing version: https://steamdb.info/sub/71502/depots/
It's nice that they are going to publish another BlazBlue game. I haven't heard much about until recently. Just checked what games what they have published in Steam and see that they don't have many games there yet. I hope they will publish more niche games in Steam

I dunno why, but I envisioned a much more spectacular mistake.
