Second Life is Expanding to Steam - Polidicks

[QUOTE] by Linden Lab 08-16-2012 01:50 PM - edited 08-16-2012 01:50 PM As some sharp-eyed developers have speculated, we’re going to make Second Life available on Steam in the next month or so. Many of us have friends who are avid Steam gamers, but if you’re not familiar, Steam is a very popular online game platform that offers a wide range of titles ([B]and will soon also offer other software as well[/B]). What does this news mean for Second Life? You’ll still be able to access Second Life just as you can today; there won’t be any change to that. But, the more than 40 million people who use Steam will also be able to get Second Life as easily as they can get games like Portal. We’ll make an announcement on the blog when Second Life is actually available on Steam, but in the meantime, if you have friends who are Steam gamers, let ‘em know it’s coming![/QUOTE] [url]http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Featured-News/Second-Life-is-Expanding-to-Steam/ba-p/1637751[/url] Looks like this will be one of the programs steam will be providing. So, this will end horribly.

the only thing second life was ever good for was currency exchanges.

This is gonna be a fun ride.

Goddamn they're trying hard to push the trainwreck that is V3.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;37279202]Second life is more of a game than a program. dont read anything into steam software from this[/QUOTE] bolded it. no reason for them to say anything about that bit unless they were being included with it.

Hooray! Now I can have furry sex with all of my friends!

didn't second life get taken over by furries and other crazies after the media stopped caring about it?

I tried to play Second Life a few years ago. I subsequently quit after learning that you pretty much had to be on it since launch to understand how to actually do anything.

sweet fucking jesus god no why

Isn't SecondLife the butt of all anti-roleplaying jokes?

ralph pls

also the guy in charge of Linden Labs now was one of the top guys on the sims 2 he has been having them add alot of game stuff (recently is pathfinding for objects)

Now you can get your fill of flying dicks and furry role play all on steam!

[QUOTE=l l;37279311]Steam is totally trying to become a monopoly, it's so blatant and quite annoying actually.[/QUOTE] yeah man think of all the second life sales other distributors are missing out on oh wait

Fuck yeah time to RP some inflation porn.

[QUOTE=l l;37279311]Steam is totally trying to become a monopoly, it's so blatant and quite annoying actually.[/QUOTE] How is this a sign of steam becoming a monopoly? Almost all the F2P games on steam can be played outside of steam. Its not as if steam is consuming them and making them steam only, if you don't use steam you don't have to use it.

[QUOTE=l l;37279311]Steam is totally trying to become a monopoly, it's so blatant and quite annoying actually.[/QUOTE] Why would any company NOT want to be a monopoly?

[QUOTE=l l;37279348]It's not just this at all, stop pretending to be naive.[/QUOTE] no it's actually completely that there are no steam only F2P games (besides TF2, but that's for obvious reasons)

Combat Arms, Maple Story and now Second Life... Maybe it's just the beginning :tinfoil:

[QUOTE=The Un-Men;37279368]Combat Arms, Maple Story and now Second Life... Maybe it's just the beginning :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] Oh god shitty F2P MMOs that I don't have to play.

Second Life's main viewer sucks anyways, not that it coming to Steam is a terrible thing since I've been a user for far too long.

[b]shut it all down[/b]

The thing that turned me off of Second Life is how it never seemed to perform any better even as my systems increased in power. I don't think I've ever seen it run above 15FPS or so. Well, that and needing real money to do any of the lauded customization.
