I am ready to kill every opponent with only Arrow and canon towers.
And a Viper.

Because it's a PC game, everyone wants it to use Steam Servers, not be locked to Windows Store.

Also what difference does it make on Steam or Windows Shop? They all play the same haha
Damn. Still have to wait 2 years for APE 2 to get this treatment.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

No one likes or trusts Microsoft after all they've done to PC gaming, and everyone wants Steam to be their central online service. That's where everyone's friends, achievements, and other games are.




YES! Wait, what does the XBox Live multiplayer mean?

Exactly this. I don't want no sodding Xbox anything injected into my Age of Empries games, none at all. I want to play it on Steam where the rest of my AoE games are, all with mod support and a community over there as well.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

it's where the majority of my library is. We've already got pubs on the market trying to split up people from their central library towards 7 clients, so we're close to 10 clients, which imo isn't good because it's better for them to split people up and hold games to each of those clients to rake in more cash than to allow for simplicity for the consumer and having a more unified library.
MS won't take pages from Steam's book because it would mean admitting that their approach isn't best for PC gamers. having an actual modding community on Steam is very beneficial and important. No other client out there currently supports a modding community or mod workshop. I imagine GoG will eventually catch up, but I cannot see the other publisehrs wanting to willingly support PC game modding after all the years of their horrid DRM practices and anti stances they've had before.

there's no excuse for AOE III though.... they should easily be able to make a new killer entry in the series so I don't want to give up hope on that. It's sad that the first two games, going on like 20 years old, have been unmatched in the genre (Imo)
excited for this though! hopefully they up the optimized population limits and add a bunch of new unit types, buildings, fun maps, online options. I could see some really fun online modes possible if they put some time into it!
