First Vindictus, now Tribes Ascend, and a couple of others. Would you like Steam to bring in more F2P games and MMOs?

I don't have any problems with it. I don't play F2P games, but it's nice to have them on Steam in case I ever decide to try one. Might also make it easier for friends to hook up using the friends list.

Tribes Ascend sure doesn't seem like its dying, considering ever since they released the game Hi Rez has gotten bigger, I remember devcat doing a survey on Facebook asking if people wanted a Steam version.

Really i rember going on the fourms and the general thoughts the game was not doing as well as before. And from what i play it seems the flawed matchmaking was hurting it

I just picked up the steam tribes starter pack today, the game seems fun but damn, i need a lot of practice to be of any use. Getting used to the skiing takes a bit, I have lost all feel for the skiing mechanic since way back when I played the first Tribes. Think I'm gonna go practice a bit more now actually!

If a game is free to play then it stands to reason it would be more popular as a download than ones you have to pay for. Only games that carry the most hype tend to be bought en mass from Steam but they get plenty from discounted releases.

Everyone I talk to won't shut up about Tribes, but its like some mysterious force keeps me from ever playing it, even though its installed on my PC already and everything.

Actually its not that mysterious, just the log on thingy refusing to let me in or let me register for some odd reason. I guess I should try more then twice.

Yup, they're trying to compete with GOG by bringing out classics too. :) not a bad thing though.

That has been happening for a long, long while on Steam. It's been a bit more in reverse with GOG; they're going a bit more for the Gamers Gate kind of thing though - minus the DRM client.

It does. I saw Dungeons and Dragons Online on Steam (but stupid me thought going to the website to download was somehow better...) and the game turned out to be quite a surprise. Haven't come across one stupid "Collect 5 bear asses for me" quest yet. Dungeons usually have a puzzle in them, and their layout is great.

comes with practice. i find it best to start with single shot weapons like the shotgun or spinfuzors 1st and then work your way into the more higher firing rated guns. one easy to use gun is that GD plasma gun. man that thing its stupidly OP it essentially bricked the solder class

there are no good free to play games. Steam just uses them to hook new players to buy real product.
