At the end of the day, anything after the first post in a thread in the wishlist forums that doesn't come from HTC is essentially noise.  People seem to forget that.

Good point.




Edit:


In retrospect, after reading my posts, I definitely come off too harsh and for that, I apologize Hungry  :salute

I think steam wants their grubby fingers in the cookie jar and would charge HTC and co to host or something like that... Steam is still a business too...

Ofcourse, but do math on having influx of hundred of players even with steam taking that 30% vs  30 on MA what i saw yesterday.


besides there are people who will never play it because of the reasons stated....... not having it on steam is just potential money wasted, because those that would not want, could still play it the normal way from this site, and those that want it, could play it via steam.


Having more options is always better and not negative.




There is a game called 'Town of Salem'  it is a f2p game on the main website,  but on steam it costs 10$  and people are buying it ! even though its f2p on own website.  It currently has 1000 steam players only and that is not counting the players that also play the f2p from website

That's awesome Nugetx.  Thanks for your opinion.  I'm glad you are here and playing.

So how is the flying and fighting going for you?  Are you getting the needed help to help you be happy here?

I was hoping your in-game handle was also "nugetx" but that does not seem to be the case.  Please, who are you in-game ?

Hungry,

I'm betting it's Violator and this is boiler plate from every other time he wants Hitech to make the MA FTP.

 :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

I'm sure Violator will get a kick outta this... :aok

This is what happens when someone posts this sort of thread on the boards. He could call the office or email without seeing any feedback from the current players of AH.

Going to Steam would also require making a new version of AH for Steam and then having to essentially support two versions of AH3 in addition to the 30% Steam takes on all transactions.

Hehe, he could never find an example of me actually saying anything close to this. Just another reason how he still doesn't understand what I'm talking about. No offense, bustr.

All this something and nothing stuff reminds me of The Ocean Blue, Between Something and Nothing:old:
"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."
