Aces High has been Greenlit on Steam!

[Wiley]

How do we benefit from using Steam? Is there a users fee involved? As you can tell I have not used this program/app. I am not sure what it is

We benefit allegedly by exposing the game to the millions of people who use Steam as their sole resource to determine whether an online video game exists or not.  More players will appear in the arenas ushering in a renaissance of incredible air combat and awesome gameplay.

As HT said, for current users, precisely nothing will change.  Zero.  Zip.  Nada.  What you do with AH today is exactly what you will do with it after they release it on Steam.  (if they do)  Your rates will not change due to Steam.  How you log into the game will not change due to Steam.  How you pay HTC will not change due to Steam.

It is simply a distribution center.  Sort of like Amazon for video games.  One stop, most things are available for sale there.

Edit: going to google it

There is not any benefit to players using steam. There are some detriments.

It's benefit to HTC would simply be added exposure.

In this vein I encourage players to post about AH as much as possible.  Facebook, YouTube, Disqus, wherever.   Hell, call Rush Limbaugh and ask him if he has heard of it just to get the name out there.   Whatever it takes.

Also, if you have email addresses for people who used to play....drop them a line.  Get them back.

Thanks for the responses. Hitech this old man is quite content continuing down the same path I have for the past 15 or so years. I certainly don't need any detriments at this stage

Reminds me of when Gamestorm picked up Air Warrior from Kesmai.

     , I was always under the thought, that Kesmai owned/launched the Gamestorm website, along with most of the other games that Gamestorm hosted, outside of several MMO games that they hosted that were created by others...

John Taylor and Kelton Flinn ( the Founders of Kesmai)
Jonathan Baron 
Rich Lawrence
Jeff Hanna
Gordon Walton
Gary Cooper  and others.......

IIRC, Kesmai was purchased by Fox News Corp in the mid-90's and then afterwards started Gamestorm because AOHELL was considered too expensive for most games due to its hourly pricing and led to Kesmai suing AOLHELL for monopolistic practices and settled out of court.

Yep, but Gamestorm was created under the Kesmai name,is what I always understood.........yes, they did sell or merged with Fox News corp? is that the correct name?it was something News Corp, all at same time, Gamestorm launched the Big Week Beta ( originally AW2, quickly switched to AW3 ) while other Kesmai games and Mythic games were on Gamestorm........ Kesmai had like "BattleTech", Mythic had like "MageStorm" just to name a couple others...... theirwere more...... the NewsCorp kept it going under the "Kesmai" name though, even on the Gamestorm website.....

then EA shut down AOL games then shut down Gamestorm, etc etc etc

I already welcomed the first new player coming from this event. I shot him down four times without mercy, smack talked him for twenty minutes and insulted his mother. He couldn't reply because he couldn't operate the chat yet. Splendid

Knowing your history with other outfits in the gaming industry, I hope it's not too detrimental. I can relate in the music industry. Always wary of getting screwed over.

Congrats Hitech. AH is like Hotel California - you can check out any time you want but you can never leave.

[FX1]

I think that their are some benfits for the current players.

Baby Seal Season!!! I will welcome the new players with 20mm.
