Steam is awesome man, it has such a huge list of games available and if Guild Wars gets added to that list i bet it will add lots more people playing to this

Whats this thing people have with steam anyway? What will you do when Steam is discontinued? Loose all your games?

And before you say something about it being forever, companies DO turn their bellies up sometimes (Hellgate London, anyone?) and that leaves customers at loss...

And why would it attact people to GW? Stema is used for updating/managing games, GW has no use for that, it has superior system for that.

You are obviously clueless. Steam sells all sorts of games if you haven't discovered. And wouldn't that be the same argument for Anet? Once it gets discontinued, so does GW?

you can put non steam games on steam as well y'know...

MMSDome · Jul 18, 2008, 05:54 PM // 17:54

valve is already trying to take over the world with this shit. Id rather double click my gw shortcut without having to load steam.

Doesn't change the fact Steam is really a pile poo.

Big_Iron · Jul 18, 2008, 06:04 PM // 18:04

I think the OP is referring to the store. You can buy non-Valve games via Steam. The app itself isn't necessary for updates and so on since Anet takes care of that already.

Quoted because this is win. I don't wanna load steam every time I play gw. Also seems pointless to add gw to steam because ncsoft has a store.

Tamuril elansar · Jul 18, 2008, 06:11 PM // 18:11

agreed with all posts above.

btw what can steam really offer to GW?

Could you atleast tell us WHY Steam is a "pile of poo", making random statements is just plain retarted.

And I would love Guild Wars to be added to Steam, downloading Guild Wars from Steam's nZone servers is way faster then Arena Net's 200KB~ servers.

WinterSnowblind · Jul 18, 2008, 06:15 PM // 18:15

I dislike Steam, and I don't see how it would really help GW to have it on there.

N1ghtstalker · Jul 18, 2008, 06:17 PM // 18:17

steam is actually a very good system for distributing games
i'm steam user and it works very well
updates games 'n stuff like that, it's all very well

because Steam has MILLIONS of members and MILLIONS of people seeing Guild Wars is for sale on the list of games available = more people playing = GUILD WArs alive forever

N1ghtstalker · Jul 18, 2008, 06:21 PM // 18:21

on a sidenote
the steam community pages is also very for guilds
guilds can make a community page there and all members can join and shedule events and more

But no way in hell is NC-Soft going to pay Steam to host GW on their servers when they have their own servers, and it would compromise safety on the GW servers.

FXCW · Jul 18, 2008, 06:22 PM // 18:22

I really like steam, but I can see no valid reason to have GW on it.

Daisuko · Jul 18, 2008, 06:24 PM // 18:24

I don't really get the arguments that steam sucks, but as for why it DOESN'T suck..... And why I personally use the "add non-steam game to steam" function and run guild wars through steam....

1. I can actually talk to friends who aren't on guild wars, without leaving fullscreen and having to enter other windows.

2. It notifies all of your friends so they know you're on guild wars, in case they were thinking about it but didn't know if anyone they knew was even ON guild wars.

3. Removes desktop clutter.

4. Auto-starts when my computer starts anyway, so I don't have to search for it or anything.

5. There's no way to screw up and accidentally PM the wrong person or say something in the wrong chat.

6. Anet doesn't get logs of what's said, I don't really like that about GW, anet keeps track of everything typed if they wanted to look it up, including whispers.

7. I can talk to people I want to on guild wars, while remaining offline if I don't want others to talk to me.

I could possibly think of more, but you get the picture... I <3 steam.

Spazzer · Jul 18, 2008, 06:25 PM // 18:25

Even if it's too late to add this game to Steam, please add GW2 to steam.

I'd love to share my achievements with my friends.

I am also someone who launches GW from Steam. =)

Dr.Jones · Jul 18, 2008, 06:28 PM // 18:28

LOL steam is made by a different company entirely.....

Antheus · Jul 18, 2008, 06:29 PM // 18:29

Steam works for offline games where it helps against piracy.

GW, being online game, has no such issues, as such, steam has absolutely nothing to offer, except abysmally poor experience, and incredible amount of annoyance compared to the current GW launcher which is exceptional in the world of online games.
