[quote who="Cyong_" reply="79" id="3452307"] But I do agree, I have been taken aback by some of Valves actions recently regarding the steam platform. (I mean I try picturing using a controller for a game like GalCiv3/Civ5 to play it in the living room and I think it would be an undesirable experience.)[/quote] You can play Civ5 with a touchpad pretty nicely. It's really more about how the UI elements work.

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="77" id="3452304"] According to the people on #Galciv it won't be available before 1900 UTC. Even then, I am hearing rumblings (rumors, really) that Steam typically has troubles with Alphas.[/quote] There's some kind of trouble on Steam right now with the publishing pipeline. :(

I have both, but not on Steam.[/quote] If I 'really' wanted to troll I could create a non-steam shortcut to Notepad.exe and name it GalCiv3 and post a screenshot :) And then much gnashing of teeth and mouth frothing would begin! Hell my Steam profile would say 'In-Game GalCiv3' too! I don't think there are enough pit

The depot for the game has not been made public. That's why it shows up as a SteamID sub because the official name on the Steam's public facing database hasn't been updated. Thta's also why you don't see any game entry, because the depot is not available to download for public consumption. That's something they set on the back end once they want to release the game into the wild. If you're super duper hard core you can monitor the sub on SteamDB <a

Reply to Hey Frogboy, Any update on how we will get the alpha? in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="beason4251" reply="36" id="3452184"] Quoting satoru1, reply 34 When you register the game please pay attention to the appid it shows up as, because when you register it, it looks like "Steam appid xxxxx". we can watch the steamdb to see when it gets published. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention and didn't record the steam appid. However, looks like we'll be able to see when it goes live here: <a href="http://steamdb.info/

[quote who="scruffitude" reply="25" id="3452185"] I activated my key on Steam and it didn't say "Galactic Civilizations 3" or anything like that. I'm going to assume for the moment that this is because the thing isn't technically available. But did anyone else have something like this happen?[/quote] The actual depot has not been published yet so there's nothing for you to download just yet. Once the depot is updated and published, you will be able to download it

Reply to Questions about NDA in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="KingBingo" reply="21" id="3451671"] NDA are enforced through the courts using lawyers. Outside of mega-mergers I have never heard of an NDA actually resulting in sanction of any kind. [/quote] If you're in the industry there are vast consequences for breaking an NDA. If you're a journalist, you can be denied access to future betas, interviews, you can be black listed for pre-release review copies for games, etc.
