1. Contact support@quakelive.com and ask them nicely to unlink the account you don't want to be using.

2. Not without using two separate Steam accounts.

Bet they pay you for typing posts like these, heretic.

Unless you have something to add that Yakumo doesn't know that will enable me to switch my account over, I was going to follow his advice. I wouldn't give a fuck if he were being paid.

He's helping a person who needs help, I don't see any issue here

Suck it yaku ruells!

U get paiid

Who heads ro steam whenni can stem on my stove top.

Heading to steam is a long way. I'm glad you've finally decided to make that transition.

it's dangerous to go alone, take this 5g bag of cocaine and this box of doughnuts

I like Valve games since TF and HL1, I always had great fun with all of their products (except this new dota2 thingy, which I can't care less about). Recently I'm having fun doing HL speedruns, just for fun, so I have nothing against Valve, but...
Steam is still a DRM, and it's getting locked down more and more as we speak. They beat piracy with a better global service, and now - years later - they are introducing region locks, and they also just made accounts without purchases limited (min $5)...... There are still many great things ofc (Steamworks, family sharing, Greenlights, home-streaming, etc) but it's not the right direction anymore imo, and less freedom always backfires on the long run (, even when they are only locking down things to protect their paying costumers).

I wish I could keep QL standalone. I know it's shitty, but I like it and somehow I already accepted it as how it is, and I'm really not in the mood to watch over how it will turn into nothing but a TF2 wannabe on Steam.

Good thing Volvo has PC MUSTARD RACE army sucking their DRM dick like there is no tomorow c]:-)

tl;dr: Fuck Steam.


I agree.

Not a big fan of Steam either. I still play HL singleplayer with the CD version.

Now you can add paid mods to that list.

Mods for money.

Let that sink in for a minute.

kotaku?

Doesn't matter. It's on.

They wanted more income sources and they found it. Not now, not this rough. They will use lube and fuck you gently. See whatever next Valve or Bethesda game comes will be like Google Play store.

reasons

- drm: yes, the devs have to protect their games. in this case with a very basic drm, which is really easy to bypass, after a few hours most of the steam releases are availabe on public torrent sites, thats how fantastic this drm is.

- limited accounts: im happy for that, cause i get one friend request a week from a bot, or a scammer

- keeping ql away from steam (and maybe going standalone) would hurt on the cheater side. im so glad we gonna have vac sooner or later, and maybe matchmaking.
the ingame friendthing also fuckin terrible, and its nicer to just use the steam friends instead.
what i also experienced, is the proper cloud system compared to ql built in. valve actually saves the whole cfg, ql only saves ceratin cvars for me. i always had to use an autoexec, and make my cfg writeprotected, but steam solved it.

i do agree with the regionlocks, its a pain in the ass.
also as an old modplayer, i thought that skyrim mod thing was a joke. who would pay several bucks for a freaking skin. i support donating modders, but this is just robbery. yeah, make every mod "pay what you want", let him earn some money for his hard work, but this is nonsense.

the ingame friendthing also fuckin terrible, and its nicer to just use the steam friends instead.

The number of friends you can have on Steam is limited though. Those migrating to Steam for QL will have to deal with that.

- I do agree with the need of anti-cheat, but I'm skeptical about its effectiveness in QL (some focus members did tell how most cheats work in QL, so look up those post if you are interested because I won’t break the NDA what I promised to hold)
- The rest is just meh. To me, the Steam release will mean nothing but inconveniences and also a price increase too)

and what sucks is the steam releases of the HL games have the speedcap, so it's pointless for anyone wanting to speedrun the game or just to be able to bunnyhop to buy it from steam.

it's just a speedrun for a different game. Nobody will mix up times from different versions anyways.

You can get bunnymod on steam though i bought hl1 on steam precisely cuz of the great speedrun possibilities. The only annoying thing is that the german version has robots instead of soldiers and u cant kill scientists, instead they sit down on the ground and shake their head lol.

they also just made accounts without purchases limited (min $5)

Yeah, now you can’t just make hundreds of accounts and spam other people with shitty scams. Outrageous.

Agree about the rest.

So guilty until proven innocent?

Let's just get rid of captchas while we're at it cause it blocks access to content until we're proven innocent.

Buying something online (check QL forum when subs were introduced) and proving that you are human are different things.

And it's getting "better".:)

"The game developer is solely responsible for the decision to apply a game ban. Valve only enforces the game ban as instructed by the game developer."

What can you expect from this community. Something as simple as a standalone update results in 90 percent of the community going dark. Hrm...

I guess legit players just gotta field an update for a couple days, rather than play a game they love. Can someone post the stats for this? I've seen this every time a big update comes in, it's just tumbleweeds for a week or two.
