Ah yes, I completely forgot about the CD Key popup, thanks for reminding me.

The only reason Minecraft was never on steam is because of the fact you had to modify minecraft.jar in order to install mods, which would make Steam overwrite it. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about yourself.

Steam only overwrites it when there is an update or you tell it to. It doesn't do it all the time á la Badspot.

I strongly believe that we'll still be able to use Blockland the way we normally do while other people can buy it and use it through steam. It's all about publicity, that's what the whole 'get blockland on steam' goal is. It's not just so people can play it through steam and with all those steam features. Also, anyone saying 'but i like a small community', forget off. It's not all about you. There would be nothing wrong with having a larger community. We would only be getting more ideas, and a larger list of busy servers to jump in and enjoy. Maybe if you weren't so uptight and force yourself to not enjoy anything you could have some fun in Blockland. Many people bash several kinds of servers yet I can jump into the worst of family RPs and have fun. But some of you will look for any one problem and consider the server 'absolute stuff' from there.

If it gets on Steam, I hope there will be some way to add the game back to there anyway, because it's convenient to have pretty much everything in the same place.

Well, Magicka only requires the key for the forums (actually this applies to all Paradox games, and works similarly to these forums), but the principle is the same. Bunch of Heroes, WH40K: Dawn of War, The Settlers 5: Heritage of Kings, and Frozen Synapse also use keys (and probably much more).

Freek:
I'd rather Blockland not be on Steam, though it is Badspot's opinion. If Steam users did buy it, they would expect a high-def sandbox/FPS like Garry's Mod 13 or Battlefield 3, but Blockland's graphics are very minimal to modern day games. With the new shading and terrain update coming, new Steam players will be disappointed that there are no terrains. But, Blockland's sales would increase from popularity and maybe could get more people on the development team. I also agree to one of the people who already posted, the pre-Steam players should get some sort of badge, declaring that they played Blockland when it wasn't on Steam yet.

They couldn't because they wouldn't experience terrain/interiors.

So it's sort of like CUUSOO for Steam?
