Valve has a problem brewing with user reviews and bots

Perhaps. In the developer's stats panel, sales are separated into "Steam purchases" and "retail activations". The latter being any other place where you can get a Steam key - Humble, GoG, bundles, giveaways, store purchases, etc. This is why they are not limited - Valve is just happy to have people on their platform.

Quoting: linuxgamerQuoting: rustybroomhandleThat's an invitation for abuse. They could create as many non-steam copies of their games as they like anyway (for testing and promotion purpose).Quoting: linuxgamerIs it worth it? The devs don't get (unlimited?) "free" steam copies or do they?
A dev can request as many keys for their game as desired.

Free to play MMORPG Ryzom launches on Steam with Linux support

When I played it was quite roleplay heavy with events frequently hosted by players. There were also a number of high level players just hanging around the starter area to help new players out.
There is quite a bit of grinding though, but not of the WoW-like variety (ie, repeating dungeon runs/raids to get gear drops etc.). It's more because the economy is player-managed, all gear is crafted, materials have to be gathered etc. It's grinding, but of the more leisurely variety.

Quoting: ShmerlQuoting: toorThis game has the best community I have ever seen. People are helpful and mature
But is into roleplaying or into mindless hack-n-slash / grinding? For instance WoW is the later.

I always though "welp" was an exclaimed version of something akin to "oh dear". See also: yoink, gah, urk, eek, etc. :)

Hey nice. Heavy Gear 2 (Loki port) was the first ever game I bought on Linux. :)
Hope the single player on this will be decent though.
