Yep Im not complaining

It's interesting to see another robot combat game after over a decade.

Is there any chance this will be distributed on Steam later on? A lot of indie developers seem to be turning to that to distribute their games.

What's steam ?

[PJ-27]

Steam is an online distribution portal for games that's developed by Valve (The guys that made, Half Life, Portal, Counterstrike etc..).
It's become the industry go to place to download games that run on a PC/Mac and not console.
It's popular because it has a vigorous vetting process for new games that means there's only good stuff basically. Well popular amongst consumers, but developers complain.
They also have a lot of decent indie games, and have made a name for themselves in indie circles as a great platform to sell your game.
They recently changed their vetting process to something called Greenlight though and it's getting some criticism.

Or as Gary would say Just Google it!

Yep. I play Team Fortress 2 through Steam. Though Steam is kind of unreliable at times. Recently it's been validating all the games I've tried to play before I can access them.

Since I pre-ordered the game everyday has seemed so SLOW. It's going to be a long September for me :sad: .
