Funny how most of the anti-Steam comments are about Steam, and most of the pro-Steam comments are about the people who are anti-Steam.
Kind of annoyed about having to install another program just to run a program I already have installed, but whatever. As long as I can disable auto-update? I like to make a couple minor changes to my defines.lua file and add names to the cultures folder, so as long as I can choose when I update so I can maintain my backups, I'll be happy.
I am neither pro- nor anti-Steam. I am pro-Paradox, and pro-CK2.
I want to play the game. Steam offers me quite good service, and I haven't had any problems with it.
Now I started my Paradox-playing-career long before Steam, bought most of their stuff from GamersGate and did not see any reason to change it. Now I have such a reason, and I find it very commendable of Paradox to offer a free transfer of systems.
I look forward to it, and all I hope for is a precise explanation of how to do it.
You know what, I'm going to follow my own advice and not engage anymore. Have fun tilting at windmills.
Oh, Paradox's stated intention of making the transfer as painless as possible for those who used GG and don't mind switching to Steam is admirable, and reflects how different they are from the industry standard.
I don't agree at all with the decision to dump GG, go full Steam, and not have a direct download option, but I appreciate that they're trying to do the right thing by their customers as they're making that move happen.
Hmmmm...
It seems to me that the reactions from former GG users range from acceptance tinged with mild disappointment to outright joy. Who are these people who "won't be able to switch"? It's pretty much only you and that German guy with bad English. And even then it seems to me that the argument gets started when people make factually-incorrect, objectively-wrong statements about Steam like you do. And even then, it's just more experienced Steam users attempting to cure you of your incorrectness. But like you said, people see whatever they want, right?
And of course you're able to switch. You just don't want to. But as of right now standing still isn't an option. Get with the times or go away. Piss or get off the pot.

Paradox has made the Steam version a direct download option. Just copy it to another folder once you download it and don't open Steam except for installing and copying over updates.
Thanks. To correct my statement, it takes three times as long. I was actually averaging much longer, but when everything went as planned 15 minutes was the norm. I have a few threads detailing the issues.
Have you setup many local area games on EU IV?
This is a logical fallacy, it's called Chronological Snobbery and seems to be a favorite among defenders of Steam.
I think it's true, the war is over and my wallet is the winner.
And thus was the term "antisteamite" created, to characterize those who are against Steam.
Also, I was on GG so far and I'm pleased that this game will go full-steam-mode.
BTW (I'm sure many have asked it already) WHEN?

That's really a raw implication, despite how much the play on words might appeal to some.
(And again the "I have problem with Steam" people are being responded to with "I have problems with YOU." )
Very disappointing. I don't plan on using Steam, so I guess I'm pretty much done with Paradox now -- I figured that'd happen, but I sort of expected it after CK2, rather than in the middle of it...
I think the main problem is that you're spreading disinformation and citing incorrect assumptions about what Steam and GG each entail.
While some people seem to have made personal attacks against those arguing against Steam, there have actually been a number of well-reasoned arguments for both the consumer side and Paradox side of the switchover. It's only when these arguments have failed have others made personal attacks.
Wondering the same. Was planing on buying some DLCs for my current GG one, but I won't make any purchases until we get full details on this...
The copy/paste reply to this question seems to be that it's up in the air. We don't know when Paradox will resolve the associated technical issues to make sure the right people get their code. I suggest you allow yourself to purchase any current DLC you want, on the expectation that it'll be a few weeks yet. We certainly haven't had devs interjecting to state otherwise.
I should also mention - this development can be construed as a partial refund of the game for customers unwilling to use Steam. Since you get a Steam code for each of your GG items, you'll be able to sell them on to regain a significant proportion of the value of your game, while also being able to continue playing.
I did a lot of looking into Steam when games first starting moving over, and Steam would have to be an entirely different setup now to be acceptable for me.
GG, meanwhile, does not share the fundamental issues of Steam -- such as requiring installation of an active 3rd-party client.
A term coined by C.S. Lewis, in some debate with a friend about religion vs physics or something? Quite apt here, I think, since Paradox is as likely to abandon Steam in favor of GG as the bible is to disprove Quantum Mechanics.
I'll assume you mean that you'll be joining us in Steamland, and your wallet will be winning in the upcoming Holiday sale.
