NOT good news. THQ wised up and began using Steamworks for their releases. If Ubsioft obtains their old properties they will saddle all of the games with the Uplay crap. It's not horrible; certainly better than Origin and GFWL, but in a world with Steam it's utterly pointless.

I've got to disagree with you there, unlike Uplay, Origin and GFWL don't feature always online DRM nonsense.

It sucks to ever be saddled with a required distribution platform/DRM package, but to me it's the always online trend that's truly intolerable.

Man, somebody should have warned me of the pitfalls in losing a ton of weight. Virtually everything I own has become comically oversized. Well, at least my shoes still fit.

Is there a gift group as there was last year?

Yeah, get Prez in here - I wantsta know!

LOL! Man, I thought you guys were kidding when you were ribbing Prez about the amount of hours he has ranked up playing Snuggle Truck, but I just happen to check his Steam profile the other day and saw he did in fact have 99.9 hours of play time. Is that for Real Prez, is the game that good? LOL!

Where's xXBatmanXx? xXBatmanXx, if you finish all the unfinished games you own on Steam by the end of the year (2012), I'll gift you a game of your choice from the Steam Holiday Sale.

Thanks for the history JacobV and Major D (That sounds like a kick-ass name for a hip-hop group!). It certainly stands to reason that someone who would claim that people who are upset that 100km2 maps are actually around 50km2 and 100-player servers max out at 50 players are "misreading" has definite problems with honesty, so I admit it's pretty hard to lend any credence to his claim.

They go up to 100. I have been on servers with 90+. You dont' want that many, to many people looking to killl you. I have had more fun on servers with less than 20...

Fair enough. At the time he made the video at least, Total Biscuit verified that the max server number was 50. More concerning to me, however, was the answer that Titov gave in response to the questions about why the store page did not reflect the current realities of the game in the interviews was... "strange" I guess is the right word.

At any rate, if I was to play the game at some point (or its "inspiration" DayZ) I'd prefer to play on a server with a max population of one. I don't like playing games with people, especially considering how as soon as you have they something they don't they'll just kill you and take it.

Judging by the volume of complaints about bugs in War Z and its much smaller scale, I think I'd rather get Day Z if I was going to choose between them.

- DADES - This is a signature of my name, enjoy!

What shocks me is that this exposes a steam quality control problem. It casts a shadow of doubt on the veracity of what is written on steam game pages.

It isn't true.

That is the loading screen.

Is that also the title screen?

And does anyone know if its changed recently?
