As an avid Steam user who enjoys the easy game management, friend management, automatic updates, and amazing Steam support, I believe this is a necessary change.
A more realistic number for the total number of Steam users is more like 8-10 million users with a daily average of 4.3 million logging in and actively participating in games, chats, or groups.
Steam is an amazing platform to get games out there - ESPECIALLY free games. Steam users also have the ability to publicly recommend games on their profiles and the game can become featured with enough downloads or upvotes.
Steam groups give a great way for Steam users to discuss the game, make suggestions, join events/see announcements, and get more users to these fair Forums.
Yeah, I'm a new user to the Renegade-X community, but I've taken a recent interest in it after years in the Renegade business.
Cheers,
