It will be interesting to see what sort of audience it will reach as steams major demographic are well….counter strike players, lol. We must however be fair as I myself have played such games and still do indeed play other such games (Day of Defeat) via steam. So ergo there must be quite a few out of the 6,000,000 users that use steam that would be intrested in Dangerous Waters. I already own a copy of Dangerous Waters but would consider re-buying it over steam if there was a practical reason too. This is not a problem at all as there are few games I play so I spend very little in the long run. However, there are some questions that arise from this news.
Firstly all games that I own via steam require steam to be running when I play games. For example when urmm…’pawning n00blets’ on counter strike, steam is always running in the background. Will this be the case with Dangerous Waters as well?
Second, if this is so will it be compatible with the original mail order version I have? And if so, how will it integrate multiplayer wise with the steam version?
How would setting up multiplayer games work as well? At the moment all it contains is a server browser which shows how many people are in a game as it’s going on. This is fine for fps games where you can jump is when ever but how would it work when setting up a game of Dangerous Waters?
Over all though I’m very happy with this news as I would imagine distributing add-ons would be very easy indeed. This is all very exciting.
