Derek Smart, president and lead developer of 3000AD, has a lot of ambitious ideas swirling around in his head. He talked almost continuously for 45 minutes yesterday as he took me on a tour of his latest creation: MMOFPS Line of Defense. [Tyler Wilde]
Derek Smart revealed that 3000AD is pulling Line of Defense from Steam, citing Valve's inability to control trolling on the store front.
It's the crazy creator who is trying to sue Star Citizen engaged in more headline grabbing idiocy.
All his crazy promises, threats, and just out and out idiocy has now been extended to Steam itself.
Because a crazy person who riles up people with nonsense with the predictable results is all steam's fault. The developer himself is the biggest troll.
Of course if his game isn't on Steam, he will of just cut off 99 percent of his market.

Since this is a world testing build, no weapons, vehicles, aircrafts, inventory items etc are player usable."
Line of Defense will be launching Early Access mid-August, following short delays with Steam Early Access.
The Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter (MMOFPS) was set to launch Early Access in July, but is being held back by developers 3000AD to address issues with game-breaking bugs and Steam’s back-end services.
"We anticipate that it’ll take at least a week—7 to 10 days tops—for any fully-populated bunch of gamers to capture a base"
Got Dam! This is gonna be some real warfare! Strategy, Tactics, Resource Management.....I Love It!
Between Line of Defense, Planetside 2, Firefall, and Arma III my fps schedule is FULL!
Graphics are Meh but I appreciate the scale and ambition of the game being made by an Indie Dev.
