erorr404 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) After a lot of discussion with the guys over at Valve Software, it has been decided that the best way to release our next MTASA version would be through the Steam content delivery software. The "Multi Theft Auto: Deathmatch" game entry was recently added to Steam as a stub (still only available to us developers), allowing us to experiment with this new way of patching. Release plans are still being discussed right now, but MTA:SA "Deathmatch" is expected to be available for a small fee of $5.95. Steam customers will be able to order Multi Theft Auto, with just a few clicks, through the Steam ordering system. (They're expected to own a copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.) Steam allows us to do more frequent on-demand updates, without requiring our users to go to our website and download new versions of the software. The dedicated servers can also be upgraded very easily through Steam, as some people may already know. We honestly think this is a good step forward for our development. Obviously with this still in the development stage, the details of how this will work aren't fully outlined yet, but we will keep the community informed as and when we know. This was an April fools joke for anybody who still thinks it was going to happen. Edited February 8, 2011 by Guest
Manej Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Is this legitxors, because it is kind of April Fool's Day? I don't have a problem with paying for DM, but others will.
IceMan Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 This has to be a big joke? BUT i wouldn't mind paying $5.95 just as long as it comes with all updates of new versions and most of the day mta team tech support oh and maybe something to say that your a mta customer?
[TDH]Boss Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Actually, I would be glad to pay 100$ if it comes out tomorrow.
IceMan Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Actually, I would be glad to pay 100$ IF it comes out tomorrow. I would pay no more then $25 if it came out tomorrow. But the thing is will a public beta "trial" be released? so that ppl can get like 3 days free to see if they like it? Plus would everyone have to pay? including the beta team? i know they help you find the bugs and test it but i dont think it would be fair to charge us but not them thats just MY option If it aint a joke...
Ramboness Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 This sounds bad really, I hoped it was a 3rd Party game, I'm sure I might gonna pay for it, IF the game will get released soon! And I don't like it should cost money, because we've been waiting so long for it.
paul527 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) i think this is for real, goto Steam and see Edited April 1, 2007 by Guest
Azu Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 This is a very nice idea. Too bad I won't be able to play.
MD_Reptile Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 for some reason i almost beleive this...and im fine with it...as long as my not entirely legal san andreas works with it
paul527 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) its confirmed, they really are working with Steam. i only saw it for a second so i took a screenshot Edited April 1, 2007 by Guest
IceMan Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Well i wouldn't mind paying the $5.95 like i said just as long as the MTA team do support most of the day. Thats the main reason i would get mta dm if it was free then yea third-party support. sure they can help if you pay but if you do pay i would expect to see the mta team help most of the time
paul527 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Just a reminder it's the 1st apirl today. its a shame too, now nobody will take the news serioulsly
Slothman Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 April fools is mostly an american/british tradition, so i don't think Ijs knew. We should have warned him
Ramboness Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Well, I can't find it on steam, so I belive it's a apirl fool
darkdreamingdan Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Well, I can't find it on steam, so I belive it's a apirl fool thats because its for developers only...
Ramboness Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Well... I have nothing to say then, but how can Paul see it? is he a dev, I can't see that. I might be wrong.
