+1 same thought here, I' don't understand if this thread is referring to my previous post in which I asked for help with steam issues or I missed previous discussions; 'good luck with your whining and complaints about ubisoft' seems to belong to different subjects than a moderator,... how do u call it? trolls?.
On my count I wasn't whining about nothing...
this thread rains from a clear sky...we say

Trust me, you won't get anywhere here when pointing out that a moderator acts like a donkey even if he acts like a donkey. Personal experience. All you'll get is a ban - even if they flame you in PM's.

That aside I must point out that Steam has pro's and con's.

- Patch distribution is all good. But what do you need it for when you get a patch once a year? (Beta's not included)
- Steam sales? Meaningless in this case as well. I haven't seen a single decent CloD sale on steam. It was sold for 15€ on the web...
- Also... steam is not good when it comes to preventing piracy. There isn't a single steam game which is uncracked.

I have like 4 Steam accounts and probably well over 400 games on them. But I still don't like the decision.


My personal take on it is: Steam is good, and only then, if you want to target younger folks (which isn't bad) AND definitely if you have an awesome online gameplay to offer so people can actually make use of the steam interface, useíng steam groups, friendlist, join friends games etc.

Since the game, campaign and multiplayer is pretty bland I'd say younger folks aren't in the scope. And the multiplayer component needs a bit more patching.



The biggest downside I see is with future expansions and the lack of the SDK. So much content for IL-2 1946 out there but CloD still lacks and I'm not sure if Steam as a platform will allow for this to change. But only time will tell.

I used to be a regular member of this forums and frequently posted.

Being a moderator has it's problems. Now as moderator it is best just to be the forums police is what I'm reading.

If moderators post there is always someone that wants to make a point with some sort of bashing against the mod. Some of it is probably pent up rage, which is sad.

Anyway, who needs it. So, back to the chastisement of the troops for me I guess.
