UT3 expansion and Steam?

[ne_skaju]

What do you think, ppl? Should UT3 expansion use steam and its advantages?
There is UT series aviable on steam, though cannot add my game there because I bought game on disc :\

Steam has cool things like: server browser, steam groups, voice chat etc.

considering nobody knows what the expansion is, I think it's too early to judge where it should be...

[Froooooom]

It should be on Steam TOO, not only on Steam because like you said, not everybody bought it via Steam. Btw, you can add every game you bought on a disc on Steam, take a look on the supportpage (too lazy to look it up)! The only problem is Steam won't recognize the game thus not download any updates for it. The only thing it's handy for is that you keep all your games in one executable, namely Steam.

**EDIT**
Boot Steam, go to the Games-tab, then choose "Add a non-Steam game to My games list",
that should do the trick

I totally agree.

Server goes down, game won't work is an advantage?!
That would be NO.

I don't give a flip, as long as the expansion eliminates the need for Gamespy.

I'd prefer to see Epic hook up with Stardock and use IMPULSE instead of Steam.

Why? Because Stardock is building up a track record of releasing excellent PC games such as Galactic Civilizations II and Sins of a Solar Empire. If UT3 had been a collaboration between Epic Games and Stardock...
