“We’re now in the age where any schmo fresh out of college and with an F average in math can develop and self-publish a game if they have access to the right tools. For those of us serious about making a living from this, the stakes are lot higher – especially where lots and lots of money is concerned.” Brutal Gamer peeks inside the mind of Derek Smart, president of 3000AD, Inc., as he talks about the changing times in the industry, breaking into development, and their upcoming game, Line of Defense.
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.
