I hadn't followed it closely, but was looking forward to it from what I'd seen... However hearing about always-on internet (for single player??), is going to make me take that one off the wishlist. Steam I have no quarrel with, have pretty much my entire gaming library tied to it.

I believe steam is optional; however the fact they said no DRM back in early development and now have an always-on internet check even for single player isn't right. Hopefully they'll reverse that for single player and do something similar to Minecraft in that regard.

First they said NO DRM and then they added online only. And now Steam. No, thanks. Edit: don't get me wrong, Steam support is great if it's optional. I just don't want to support developers that go back on their word. Especially if they gave it while asking for money.
