Well I certainly hope Steam helps (boost moneys to make more game more better )

[shopsmart]

Oh snap. I tip my hat to you pgi. May the influx of money improve this game. If there is no improvement, no more money from me. And I just started 3/4 a year ago.

[MovinTarget]

Wow, considering I just had to reserve a room in Salt Lake City, Utah next week for $150, that CAD $80 is looking pretty sweet...

[Tordin]

It has begun. This better turn out for the better May the steamers have mercy on this game and give it a chance..

[Revorn]

Nice to know, and good Luck for the Steamrelease,

Only leaves one Question.....

Too soon PGI, this game is going to flop.

You have a broken CW game mode with not enough incentives that is shallow as a kiddy pool when it comes to being immersive and interesting.

Your maps lack polish and the game modes are homogeneous and boring.

Fire the dev team and start using our dollars efficiently.

Not interested in being told face to face that we "can sleep now"...

[Lyoto Machida]

Steam launch...

[Mechronomicon]

Games not ready for Steam Launch, forcing it won't make it any better. All you're going to do is open the flood gates for even more people to be dissatisfied.

[Bad Electric]

wait until they actually join a team and run into all the teams whose mechs you can't damage? Oh wait, an admin joins next round and all the guys whose mechs wouldn't die are dead at rounds end. But there is no cheating going on... Pug drops are last refuge of fun game play in this game. Very sad...

[John Archer]

*shakes head and waits for the influx of the kiddies*

[Nightmare1]

This is pretty cool!

Too bad it's on my Birthday as well as the mandatory elections meeting for my Peer Advisors Organization at my University. Otherwise, I'd be filling out that app so fast that it would make everyone's heads spin!

Thank you PGI for hosting this! I hope it's a big success and that you decide to do something similar next year! It could become a really great way to reach out to your gaming community!

[codynyc]

cant blame IGP on this one guys... good luck....

[Mcgral18]

I've got to be honest...I don't think you're ready.


PTS4 may help, but I'm not hopeful.

[Deathlike]

Well, PGI put themselves on a deadline.

I guess being told the same things for the last 2-3 years is going to be a wake up reminder.

at least a bunch of chosen people can laugh about this joke clap clap clap

[pwnface]

PGI, you guys really really aren't ready for a steam release. Doesn't really matter what anyone says though since the attitude from this dev team has always been:

[Vespaer]

I find it terribly funny that all these haters saying that going to Steam is a bad idea because the game is broken and whatnot.....but they still play and enjoy the game even though they hate how its broken?

Correct me if im wrong but thats being very childish and hypocritical.

I think this is a great idea PGI!! Good one on ya for bringing this to Steam!!

Especially considering there are so many games on steam that are in Alpha and looking for money from people, they are all going to flock to this game.

Again!! Well done!!
