In fact the game requires Steam to play according to direct2drive.

"This product is not eligible for refunds. This title installs and requires STEAM to play."

Also using the code BUNNY in the US, and RABBIT in other places will get you 25% off on direct2drive until Monday. Yay sales. To bad direct2drive has the lamest pre order bonus, but whatever, it's 25% off. :laugh:

Bought that a few nights ago. The pre-order bonuses are all crappy spread across different retailers. I just went for this one because of the 25% discount.

Thanks for the heads up! Just pre-ordered it from Direct2Drive. Never thought I would use D2D for something, but that's a pretty sweet discount indeed. :)

Still not sure how much staying potential this game is going to have, but I'm willing to take a leap of faith with Splash Damage. I'm in the mood for a PC FPS right now anyways (moreover, a PC FPS that isn't TF2 or BC2).

I'm actually flat broke right now so I can't order it, sadly. I will have to wait another week before I can. :cry:

Should be less than 2 weeks now right?

Also, I don't know if it's been said but apparently we will be able to run our own dedi servers, and for free. First fps game in a long time that's allowed that I think?

And also it will be available for pre load on Steam:

That's probably old news though. Also Steam says it will be available May 9th, not the 10th.

Yep. A lot of games allow you to run your own dedicated servers. Unfortunately, the big titles don't (like Battlefield and Call of Duty). I'm glad the dedicated server is standalone (which means it doesn't require you to have the game).

Also, where does it say it's available on the 9th? It says the 10th for me: http://store.steampowered.com/app/22350/

The leader of my clan, intox. Gaming (some of you may know us from CSS and TF2) just informed me that our host will allow us to put a dedicated server for Brink on our box. This got me more hyped than anything :D

Can't wait to see y'all ingame. Add me @ http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/reacon if you want!

Right on the web page:

Says that in Steam and on the webpage, too.

Anyhow, we should try to set up a neowin server or something.

It must be US-only then. It says the 10th for me:

EDIT: Actually, it looks like an error. 1 week, 4 days, and 1 hour from now is the 10th, not the 9th.

won't being able to host your own dedi server make cheating more rife?

The complete opposite in fact. I'm sure there will be many communities with well moderated servers even if VAC fails to catch the cheaters.

It's actually having P2P that makes cheating more rife because there is no way to ban cheaters.

    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
    • Man, the memories.
    • Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
