Symbian smartphone: Multiplayer playerbase in Need for Speed The Run

Multiplayer playerbase in Need for Speed The Run
Now that EA seems determined not to put their games on Steam, I'm a bit worried about the playerbase multiplayer. For anybody who has played frequently Hot Pursuit online at launch, you possibly know how irritating it can be to discover a game in the middle of the day if you are in North America. Just as an example of what I mean about not being on Steam: I have about ~ 300 clock hours in line HP since December, but I have never known about the game if he had not seen in a sale of steam . I'm pretty sure I'm not alone either.

This seems more a problem with the game is available on Steam. Have you considered that EA prefers to have its own distribution system? Viewing who is an editor? His own system that would allow timely updates an improved ability to solve problems for you, and cleaner application. While I understand that many players want to be able to bring all their games in a single update / communication platform is the fact that it requires additional code that takes time. Giving rise to complaints from several who have heard about the game did not show the day of release (or weeks) and updates to take even longer.

I am certainly worried, especially since the PC NFS games, multiplayer almost always empty. And yes, I hope you can reconcile with the valve, but I'm always open to all kinds of options.

Killed criterion based on several players by not adding Hot Pursuit Chat in the game. I really hope a good racing game single player and that's what Black Box. If you do good multiplayer PC. Call it an advantage. Racing game has really come to PC gamers for a long time now, which is sad because we love cars as much as any other.

I apologize if I took the post in the wrong way, but seemed more concerned about what the vapor then have a multi-player activity. There has been no word on how many players are usually so far. But I'm waiting for the ability to create private games via a LAN system.
