T3fun finally managed to get Granado Espada (USA) on Steam and kept featuring New Era content when they have not even updated to New Era Episode 1 in more than 4 months... Steam is an Internet-based digital distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation offering digital rights management (DRM), multiplayer, and social networking. T3Fun is making it like it's a big deal, but personally, I can't figure out the point of having Steam for GE. What exactly does it do for the game? Why would I want to install Steam? According to this , Steam installation provides these benefits: Instant Access to Games You mean I don't have instant access to games I installed on my hard disk? *confused* Join the Community Can't you already form clans, chat in-game, and use forums without Steam? Create and Share Content Uh, I don't see how Steam helps to customize or create new content for this game... Entertainment Anywhere Except this game still doesn't run on Linux or Mac. Steam doesn't make the game client run in non-Windows O/S, does it? Digital Rights Management What DRM? This game is free-to-play, free-to-download. Why would I install additional software if it doesn't serve any meaningful function? I suppose you can use Steam as a centralized location to buy other games, but that doesn't apply to GE, does it? Or can you buy cash shop credits with Steam? http://starstorm-ge.blogspot.com/2016/01/steam.html
