Quote from rpmmatt :

I only quoted you because you seemed to suggest people would be forced to use Steam when this is not the case. I am not sure English is your first language so sorry if I misunderstood.

My opinion is very clear. 100 times yes for Steam, the main reason being Steam would be a good bet to attract more users.
(To respond to your edit) benefit to the community of more players is obvious, more races, more competitions, fuller servers and so on, increased longevity of the sim, Also, there are some very technical people in the Steam community who would likely add and build on some of the fantastic work done by the modders for this sim already. Benefit to devs? Increased revenue I guess, satisfaction of having a more popular product? I dont know ask them, being a dev is outside my area of knowledge.

PS, If the game you have a CD key issue with is not a Valve game, then you would be best to contact the game publisher directly, as they are the ones who issue the keys to Steam in the first place. Good luck getting it sorted.

That's a no problem mate.. I just shared my experience on Steam and I thought you have a prob with that.
I also understand what's your reason on voting YES. And that's your own opinion. I also understood what is this poll about. We all have all different points of views in this poll.

CD KEY issue: I already did emailed them both none of them even replied.. but even not a Valve game still an issue for me. (never mind this personal issue of mine I just shared this, it'll be more off topic to discuss this. Thanks anyway )

Quote from rpmmatt :

Have we not already mentioned that selling a game through Steam doesn't mean the game can only be bought through Steam. Your whole argument falls down by you assuming that something sold on Steam can only be on Steam.

This discussion is no different to a poll saying should the devs sell on Amazon or Play.com or some other place.

A retail copy of a game can be played on the same servers a Steam copy if the devs choose to have it that way. Please stop spouting nonsense and mis-information.

It would be perfectly simply for the devs to continue to sell via the LFS site for luddites with c**p laptops, and for others you could buy through Steam or any other digital distribution company for that matter. This is a discussion about would it be a benefit to sell on Steam, not a discussion about whether you like Steam or not. The only counter arguments against are "Wahhhh, I don't like Steam its rubbish", or "Steam users will be crashers", both are solved by 1--don't buy on Steam, and 2--Admin your server properly.

Anyone come up with a single other idea against?? Devs would be "selling out" is maybe the only other one I've heard?

Didn't you read my 1st and 2nd post? if NOT yet, can you please read it first before you quote me?

They quoted my opinion so I have to answer that in my own and you quoted me also,

so why dont you tell it to the Devs... if thats what you want.

What is this thread for? for Poll right? Poll started because of mixed opinions about selling it on Steam.

Now if you have your own opinion in your own other way then go post it. I will not argue with you in that way because I have to understand whats your opinion all about in this poll.

whatare you talking about this? It's all the same.... POLL, OPINION, WHETHER YOU LIKE OR NOT, YES OR NO.

Benefit?
for Devs?
how about users?

Now here's another personal issue of mine in Steam: ( I know this will be off topic, I just wanted to share this, for me to have a 3rd answer for you why I don't like Steam)
I've an issue with one of the games I bought on them with CD KEY ERROR and BLOCKED. I sent them an email about the issue and its been 3weeks now that I haven't heard any reply from them. That's also one of the reason why I don't like Steam.

Quote from Jsm :

None of the web pages displayed in steam (such as the store page) use flash (apart from one page which uses it for a video).

Oh really??? "which uses it for a video"

a source code of Steam

so whats your deal? go with LFS over Steam or NOT? thats poll deal here.

Quote from GianniC :

Do you even know what Steam is? It's like super easy to use, gives a lot of exposure to less known games, allows easy friendlist useage and you simply minimilize steam when playing. There are no flash ads or other at all involved.

I only see benefits to the game.

I know what STEAM is.. I have some games over Steam.
Flash Ads? and what do you call a game that has a BUY option changing from 1 game to another game info? Isn't that some called commercial game ads in steam that are built in flash or web flash?
Flash causes a lot of memory usage, specially video mem usage. In this case, my answer is... Im pointing to some specs of PC that Steam is sometimes hard to generate because of low system specs or internet connection traffic and I've experienced that using in my old lappy single core XP home ed 2gig mem running in a 1.6ghz and LFS runs 25-30 FPS just the LFS no other prog running. Steam uses 80%K and when minimized 60%K of memory usage, so minimizing the Steam while playing LFS will cause sometime not too much lags but still. Now if you're going to say upgrade the PC then, I have another 2 lappy which is i3 and i7 which will I think and probably runs well LFS over Steam.
Now what if some LFS user still uses single core? you want them to spend another dollar just to upgrade for high end PC to run LFS over Steam?


I like LFS to be that way. Easy to contact the devs, One click for the game and no more opening another program to play on it, You can also add friends at LFS World and notify you where are your friends playing.

Isn't LFS a friendly user in that way?

That will be my answer for you GianniC, and that's my own opinion voting NO for LFS over Steam.

BIG NO!!!

1)Its hard to connect on steam
2)Eat lots of memory (graphic interface and too many flash ads)

Quote from skywatcher122 :

Thanks

Im using Win7.

Any help?

Quote from Latetzki :

I am I doing this right?



still doesn't work I tried also enabling that DMZ from router control panel.

Are you using Dynex Router?

Yes portforward is correct but try to find your specific IP which is currently running in your computer net con.

Search CMD open it and type: ipconfig

192.168.2.1 is your router default so connection in the router starts in 192.168.2.2.

Belkin is the same as Dynex.


For Firewall:
DMZ The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be placed outside of the NAT firewall. This may be necessary if the NAT feature is causing problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker attacks. To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the field below and select "Enable". Click "Apply Changes" for the change to take effect.

I did translate your language once, twice and trice in a different translator and it comes out the same as what you said that you insulted the DEVELOPERS.

Quote from jagy :

Why are you so hard headed? Isn't it that the rule for skin already posted here twice or trice? and it says "it will be removed if the skin contains an offensive or nudity image without notice????

Ahhh for god sake.. stop doing or puffing ganja, it will kill your brain and it'll be smashed like a potato.
