Uhh... what happened to Hawken?
[spoiler]tl;dr below for the lazy -blam!-s[/spoiler]
When I first started hearing about this game it was having an epic measuring contest with MWO, and beings I liked the look of MWO over that of Hawken, I picked MWO. I never got around to trying Hawken, but the other day I hopped on MWO for the first time in a while to check out the new UI.
At the beginning of my first match I asked how the game was doing, and eventually someone said that Hawken had -blam!-ed itself.
Now that I was once again aware that Hawken was a thing I looked into it and found that is was moving over to Steam. Considering that Steam is a good thing, I don't really think that this is what that guy was talking about. Can any Hawken players tell me about what happened?
tl;dr: What the hell ever happened to this game?

3 RepliesI don't know much about Hawken, but I'd like to comment on Hawken's integration with Steam: Hawken was free-to-play (I assume), and one of the strong points about F2P games is that they're convenient. You download, install, play. Sometimes they even play in your browser! Extra convenient. A F2P game requiring Steam isn't convenient at all, but a hassle. I don't use Steam, and if a game requires me to install it I won't be playing it. I'm sure many people who enjoy F2P games feel the same way about Steam integration.
