I think there's much exaggerated expectation within the remaining AH community about this move.

I voted YES, because I absolutely want you to go forth and prove me wrong  :old:

Will vote yes when I get home tonight.  :aok

Make sure while you are there to vote yes for ShinePipi too.  It looks like an awesome game.  :confused:

There has to be a better player made video of AH3 than the one that starts playing when you open the Steam page... That video is going to drive people away not invite them.

No offense to anybody, that's just how I see it...

A couple of years ago Steam announced that they had 125 million users and now they are suggesting they have 11-13.5 million concurrent users.

As crazy as it sounds, I am not in favor of a steam move. From what I can see, instead of paying a sum for advertising, Hitech will have to pay much more over a longer period of time with Steam supporting some of the burden. Worse yet, Hitech will have to abide by policies that Steam demands, including returns. So, does HTC want to pay a large sum now or pay a larger sum over a longer period of time? I'm not in the game building business, and I am not qualified to decide.

Regardless of the decision, I would recommend deciding before the new Band of Brothers series based on the 8th AF is released. There will be a fervor, a resurgence if you will, in interest in WWII and particular in WWII aviation. Just like the original interest in the genre when Band of Brothers was released, in fact it may have made the Call of Duty franchise successful. I would strongly urge that advertising and/or Steam subscriptions be started just before interest in this genre is at it's zenith.

My sentiments exactly on both counts.

I hope we're wrong too.

I don't use steam and know nothing about it. I did not vote for that reason.

As long as there is no possibility it will close the doors on AH.

Paging Dolby. He's the best filmmaker I have ever seen in this game.

Dolby is very talented and made great videos.  NirosAH2 made some great ones too - I think this promo was one of the best and even though is about AH2 not AH3, still has some great shots and sequences:



LePape also contributed an all-time great one:

Copperhead, you don't have to play through steam.

And "Hunt or Prey" is my favorite, it's the video I show to people whom I want to come play.
