NCsoft games get Steamed

Starting right damn now it isn't.

It's a shame that Eye of the North isn't there. :(

Yay! I can finally grab me City of Heroes again! (I lost my disk :/)

If you already have a GW account and download and sign in through Steam, will you have access to all of the EOTN material?

Do you guys have to be douchebags about every service that gets shut down? Making fun of Tabula Rasa. You made fun of FileFront, and even suggested we use YOUR own service, which, quite frankly, isn't nearly as good. Thank God FileFront came back to crush your dreams of what could have been. This kind of crap is starting to irritate me, and I'm sure other people as well, I'm getting close to quitting this site.

I'm confused as to why this is newsworthy.

You can already log into your PlayNC account and download the client, purchase new game codes and other in-game benefits for Guild Wars and City of Heroes on the PlayNC site. All this does is give people a place to do it that Valve controls.

Whooo diddly woo.

Damn you EA. You grace us with great games on Steam, but avoid releasing Battlefield 2? And where is Quake IV? I've seen Heroes of Might and Magic 5 on there, but what about the prequels?

i miss lineage 2

Guild Wars is a great game, it's suffering from the lack of new content, but it is still getting smaller updates every so often, and for new players there's a *lot* to do.

Why even bother with Steam? These are all server-based games anyway. It's not like Steam is going to prevent all that rampant piracy of CoH and Guild Wars...? They're account-based, not copy-based.

I'm becoming less of a fan of Steam. I am not fond of the fact that I can pay for something, and if I call Gabe fat, maybe he'll deactivate it in a fit of rage one day. Maybe the internet will explode. Maybe Valve will go under and "forget" to unlock all the games due to IP issues.

I'll buy DRM/cripple stuff, but since they don't have to worry about piracy with those versions, I expect to pay substantially less.
