only being able to play through steam? if that change is implemented, I cannot play the game anymore. Steam runs horribly on my PC and looks ugly, and until they fix that I won't use it no matter how popular it is. (and no I will not spend another 600+ on a PC just to play Zero-k- the one I have can't be more than a year old at most and there is no reason to be forced to change it because Steam could not write their software well)
