My gripe is that I don't want to deal with Steam, period, hope choosing factions in a match will return, and cannot play Sins with the hardware I have in the first place.

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="277" id="3097407"]The other issue is that singleplayer-only games are on the 'out' with the videogame landscape, day-one patches are the norm and robust multiplayer and social experience in gaming are required these days for a game to be successful. It only makes sense for any smart developer to embrace not only digital distribution but a platform that also integrates easy MP matchmaking, stat-tracking and other social interaction all under one roof.[/quot

Anyone who thinks they own the IP to a video game they bought is insane, but the problem with DRM is we don't even really have the fair use rights we used to have with purchasing a video game. I have never had much use for fancy multiplayer features, its not that I don't appreciate multiplayer, I do, but it isn't why I buy games. I am one of those people who is getting left behind by the "multiplayer and social experience being required for success" mentality, I don't even hav

Did you originally have the Gold Pack? If so, then I may have to give up on playing EaW/FoC when my disks give out, because they just aren't worth it without mods.

Mods don't work very well with Steam. I don't have EaW/FoC on Steam, but have heard of the problems. It has to do with the way the files are arranged, the Steam version is the Gold Pack, and the file structure is different than the original releases of the games. Try this YouTube video.

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="32" id="3093332"]That would be the problem right there... Thanks for clarification...[/quote] Indeed, that's my problem too, why would I buy a game that uses third party software I don't need? Steamworks doesn't offer anything that ICO didn't already have as far as I am concerned, and ICO works well enough for my purposes.

Brad, do you still support the Gamer's Bill of Rights? If so, morally you can't require any of your software not bought from Steam to require Steamworks.

Actually, Stardock is doing the majority of the work on Rebellion, with Ironclad fulfilling more of an advisory role, because Ironclad is developing another game, Sins of a Dark Age, see https://www.sinsofadarkage.com .

No, you will just have to download and activate it with Steam, because Steam is a third party client to GameStop.

[quote who="G_Bison" reply="216" id="3093196"]What I find interesting about this mess is that the name of the game is 'Rebellion' and we as consumers are Rebelling against the fact we have to use steam. So correct me if I'm wrong but when I come home from work and want to fire up a game, I have to first, launch steam and then play Sins. To me that's like asking permission to play a game I bought from someone out side my home. "Please sir, I have been a goo

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="105" id="3087908"]As a gaming trend, absolutely. But I don't care what the trends are when forming what I want from a game. They're really isn't an argument here. The only action I am demanding from Stardock is to email all preorderers that Rebellion will now require steam, as a change in DRM scheme is something they ought to know about. If you're right and those of us that "refuse to evolve" get left in the dust so be it.[/quote] Informing

[quote who="Vatticson" reply="93" id="3087717"]I dont see the "negative" thing here. [/quote] The "negative" thing about this is some of us, like Darvin, GoaFan, and myself, don't like Steam, specifically Steamworks. As GoaFan mentioned above, we don't like being forced into using Steam by a company that has until recently, been the last bastion for those who don't like Steam. We do understand their decision, and don't hold it against Stardock.

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="72" id="3087159"]So long as your games use Steamworks, I will not purchase them. I understand your decision, and I'm sure you understand mine. Nothing personal Stardock, best wishes Sins community. This is where we part ways.[/quote] I second this, I already don't have a computer to play Sins on, and now Steamworks is involved, so I have absolutely no reason to get Rebellion.

Yarlen just answered the Steam situation here , and many people who don't want to be forced to use Steam will never play Rebellion because of it.

I wonder why EA had to get involved with a LucasArts game in the first place, if its just because BioWare is one of their studios, then that would be really annoying.

EA created a new studio, Victory Games, to develop CnC games in the aftermath of CnC 4, then about a year later renamed them to BioWare Victory.
