For a game that doesn't even try to be attractive for today's mainstream MMO audience, it's doing quite well, indeed. If you look at EvE, which from what I can tell caters to the same kind of audience, it seems like the ceiling for a game like this would be around 300k daily users, so they still can grow a bit.

It still needs to be pointed out that a mainstream MMO would be considered an epic fail with numbers like these, so there is that. I am still wondering why nobody seems to want to make a PvE-focused MMO anymore, catering to the vast majority of players who do NOT want to be PK-ed left and right all day long. Elder Scrolls is still the newest of its kind and it's six years old now... :S

Quoting: Arten

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoEPIC can adopt PROTON for a future Linux client..

It's opensource, they can, but if they don't suport it with programmers, or money, i don't think is ethical in time when they attack source of money of company who supporting it...

"Ethics" and "Epic" do not go in the same line...

Why is that NOT surprising, coming from the same company who needed about a year after the Windows release to deliver the promised Bards Tale IV port. "Difficult decision"...lol...it's just how these people operate.

Eh, I got it for last Christmas and can't say it is or was unplayable. It's got some quirks, but most of them are pretty minor, IMHO.

I'd totally love a tool like it, because I am...errrm...not too great at 3D modelling. If it would just come with assets in a different art style.

To add the "other opinion"...I really don't bother with demos. Now, that's coming from somebody who almost never buys game at full-price, either. But for the price point I am willing to invest for most games, I am confident enough to just buy them based on what I know about them.

Quoting: CorbenWho would've thought EA would ever go back to Steam...

Steam is where the money is, because it's where (most of) the gamers shop. I guess EA thought because they're EA, they can dictate their customers anything, including migrating to their own little store that has really nothing to go for it other than being annoying. I guess EA's numbers were hurting and the management finally realized that their games don't get noticed as much anymore, since they chose NOT to be on the world's #1 marketplace for games. Which is really a silly thing to do.

That's a great workaround. Thanks for posting it!

Origin is really one of the worst pieces of software ever written. It's mindboggling, really. I get the idea that real talent probably doesn't want to work for EA in the first place, but compared to their games, Origin isn't THAT complex. Do they really put every intern they get on Origin to hack away?

Quoting: gabberI would not want this in my pony online, sure. But I _DO_ want it in a game about shooting each other. Bring on the banter, that's part of the game.

That's quite honestly the impression I have of a certain part of the MOBA/Shooter crowd. People who just don't mind insulting and belittling others for fun and to feel a little less pathetic than the person they are in real life. Not everyone playing these games shares your point of view, thankfully. But enough to make me not touch this type of game with the proverbial 10-foot pole.
