If you're rabidly pro-Steam, on the other hand, the news should be a boon. DNF Publisher 2K hasn't yet said whether this includes Steam achievements, but as "a bunch of questions [players] have been asking...are finalized." The response to the news has so far been mixed.
"I hate when I am forced to play SP [singleplayer] games using [S]team," writes one user. "I'll be fine if just the multiplayer requires [S]team though."
"Suddenly I dont want to buy it anymore," write another. "Steam is stupid."
The balance leans positive, though.
"Steam is a lot better than any retail [G]amestop or EBgames," writes a Steam advocate, adding that "Steam saved PC gaming."
"Steam was a minor annoyance at first," writes another, admonishing anti-Steam users for "overreacting" and continuing "At least say you hate Gearbox and 2K for legitimate reasons, like that atrocious box cover at...I'm going to go play Team Fortress 2 right now, and I'm pretty sure Valve isn't stealing my information and using my PC resources for their dirty schemes."
What do you think? Thumbs up or down for Steamworks powering the PC version of DNF?
