EVE on Steam

Looks like EVE’s about to get distribution on Valve’s Steam service. Very cool. I use Steam myself for a lot of games (Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty 4 to name a couple), and I don’t think a MMO has got any kind of distribution on Steam before.

To celebrate the launch of Steam’s first massively multiplayer online game offering, a special 21-day trial period for EVE will be available, free of charge, to all Steam gamers. Steam gamers will also save $5 off their first full month of EVE Online.

What Happened to the EVE Bloggers?

TumbleweedI’m curious what happened to the EVE bloggers out there. Folks like CrazyKinux and the Odd Pod Out guy are usually posting on their EVE blogs a bunch, but lately it seems like both of those have slowed down drastically.

It’s too bad. I enjoy reading syndication feeds from various EVE blogs out there, and these two were a couple of my favorites. It just seems that a lot of the ongoing dialog about the game in the blog world’s gone quiet for some reason. Is it post-holidays recovery? Are dedicated players taking some bench time away from the game?

Not that I mind soldiering on alone with this or anything. 🙂
