Steam has made quite an interesting announcement today with the release of fourfree to play MMOs on the service. Why is it strange, you may ask? The clients cost nothing in themselves, and you play through Steam what you could simply download from the company’s own website for free. But aside from new publicity, what does this bring for our beloved free to play MMOs?
The games on…download are Global Agenda, Champions Online, Forsaken World, and Spiral Knights, presumably with more on the way if this works out. But I ask again, why should I choose Steam?
- Champions Online on Steam offers 712 achievements.
- Spiral Knights offers 57 steam achievements.
- Spiral Knights is set to receive steam exclusive cash shop items.
- Other games will no doubt follow with exclusive items.
So if you have Steam and you play or want to play any of these games, why not boot up the system and give them a whirl? If you’re not a fan of Steam or don’t want to download the client, well you’ve probably stopped reading this article already.
