#MUSIC WARS EMPIRE PC#
PC gaming was struggling by 2004 and wasn’t getting any better, and piracy was a huge issue. Valve are now known for their Steam client. At the time of its release it was easily the best first person shooter I had ever played. While most gamers these days are aware of Half-Life (some purely due to the “Half-Life 3 Confirmed” meme), many do not realise how big a release it was.
#MUSIC WARS EMPIRE SERIES#
Half-Life and Half-Life 2 were loved by fans, as were the other game series that Valve developed. They hit it big back in 1998 with Half-Life, which changed the face of the first-person shooter for years to come. Valve are known for the Portal, Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead franchises. So it leads me to a question that pops up from time to time should we still be supporting Steam? The main reason why people still do? The answer is simple: Valve. Steam has now left me attempting to deal with a childish and arrogant individual, who really doesn’t deserve my time. I attempted to find several ways to contact Steam about this wonky game and its aggressive developer. No matter what I did, Steam directed me back to the developer, but that’s the person I have the issue with. So I headed over to Steam Support for help. This left me with no way to ask for any assistance when it came to dealing with Music Wars Empire’s many issues. I was also banned from the Steam Discussion and had my IP address completely blocked from accessing the official site. The backlash from the developer was to delete threads I’d made on the Steam discussion page and the official forum. We dropped the article to avoid any further interaction with the developer, and the fact that no one actually gives a flying fox about Music Wars Empire.
Despite my impeccable research on the article, the developer was rather unhappy with the article and made a number of threats against myself and my editor. The game had disappointing Steam reviews, a number of bug issues and a highly disillusioned fan base. So recently I had a little rum-do with a Steam developer after writing an article on the text simulation game Music Wars Empire.
