Another subject like the retail version not being linked to Steam

Lol, true

In all honesty though, i think this is a very good compromise. If i want Steam integration, i buy from Steam and get what i want. If i don't want to use Steam, i buy a boxed edition from a retailer and i'm good to go.

Options are there, people can choose, everyone is happy. I just wish we knew that from the get go, it would have saved me a lot of smashing against brick walls arguing with people who though lack of options and forcing everyone to the same platform was going to be good for the game

Except for Gimpymoo.

I would be tempted to have one of my mates across the pond get a boxed version for me so I could have it a bit early, but besides the uncertainty of the whole region locking thing, there's the whole "England pays half again what everyone else does" problem. Makes me laugh that we're going apoplectic over gas approaching $4 a Gallon here.

Bump! Spread the word!

Would that mean we could buy from another region and be able to play the single player without problems??

My question; will there be an in-game server browser or not ? A Steam lobby is IMO a nice to have, but if there is an in-game server browser, why should I connect via Steam on my own dedicated server ?

Makes no sense at all....

I imagine steam is used for the in game server browser but if has been said that hyperlobby and other third party brewers (damn iphone SERVERS not BREWERS) can be used.

Something else on your mind, Krupi?
