Spector Goes Source

[Nov 22, 2005, 10:38 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Junction Point Studios, the new developer formed by industry luminary Warren Spector, sends word on some job openings they are looking to fill that reveals a bit more about their plans for the future. The positions they are advertising are for a Source-engine game that will be released via Valve's Steam network. The openings are for a game artist and level builders, but the job descriptions do little to reveal more about the nature of the unannounced project. Those interested in applying should contact jobs@junctionpoint.com. Update: This info is now available on their jobs page.

Everyone seems to worry about what Steam "COULD" do, and not what it actually does. They are worried that it "could" have spyware, it "could" charge us everytime we want to play, it "could" this, it "could" that, etc.

Difference between Sony's Rootkit and Valve's Steam is that Sony's rootkit, IS spyware as it allows viruses to remain hidden to anti-virus software, it was also installed without the users permission or knowledge. Steam does not collect user information, except for the periodical poll that they initiate, which you are quite able to decline and not participate.

I can understand that people don't like that Steam verifies your account before being able to play single player games as well, personally I could care less, so it doesn't affect me. The difference is this was public knowledge as well as being labelled on the retail box, and nobody is forcing you to install or use Steam. If you don't like the software, then don't use it or the games provided on it.
