  • Quake Live is now B2P for EVER! and its steam only

    thats it, if you had a QL account already linked on steam, the game is now Free 4 EVER for you, new players still has to play 9,99 to play it

    Wow really, $9.99 to play..

    Never paid a single penny to play the damn game to begin with.

      Doesn't seem like a bad deal to me. It's a pity that all previous stats have been reset though.

        Just gave it a try. Looks like they've completely integrated it into Steam now, including achievements and accounts management -- and the old accounts and their stats were removed. I don't care.

        I still like Q3, but it's not that exciting any more after all those years I gotta admit.

          That has to be the dumbest move ever lol.
          10 to 1 says this was a Bethesda decision since, you know... QLive has been free since 2010 and now its requires steam and $10 bucks? haha.
          UT2015 full on free? Thank you sir may I have another.

            hmm well, what else can I play if the case of 'quake1 servers are empty?' .. any suggestions, Mindz, anyone? When is that free UT coming out? I checked the site, looks like they're only 3 levels or something for that game

              There are way more than 3 levels,and its out right now, in Pre-Alpha but for that to be the case, the game is heavily polished,and enjoyable.

                    I think it could be interesting to see what happens with the Steam Workshop side of things. Perhaps the game will get a second wind.

                      Hitler finds out Quake Live isn't free anymore. - Caption Generator

                      ^ This sums it up nicely.

                      @PFL , a second wind from where? I can't see this game even getting 1/5th of its playerbase back.

                        1) yes
                        2) tons (I also have the dev kit installed, and its hard to tell apart. Alltogether its 22 GB. It seems the game is 10 GB and the dev stuff 12 GB, but I'm not 100% sure)
                        3) dunno, just try it, alpha is free: https://www.unrealtournament.com/ My box is pretty old (i5 2400 CPU, Radeon HD 6800) and it works great.

                        The gameplay feels very oldschool though. If you liked UT, you are gonna like it. If not, maybe not.

                          thanks for answering my questions

                          it looks like I will have to free up some space, gone are the days where a game would take 2-3 gigabites or a game like quake at about 1gb

                          anyway, ut looks pretty good and I will put it on my computer

                          now as for quakelive, maybe they will get rid of the 10dollar or at least make it 5, 4.99-sounds a bit more feasible...

                          Im not sure if I sound like a cheapskate or not lol but I dont think it should be charged at all, or at least less.. Im sure, im not the only one here lol i mean, the company doesnt have enough profits to keep this going for free, from the other games they sell?

                          i think it was a great promotional thing to introduce others to FPS's then they could buy the other id FPS'es or other bethesda games..

                          anyway, I dont know whats going on over there (bethesda and id) but ... err, currently looking for some free fps when q1 servers are empty, which of course, I check first

                          ...or maybeee... quake1 could get more players, since quake1 is free to play(online).. maybe something good would come out of this after all

                            I can understand why people are annoyed about it, I don't see how it's worse than subscriptions though. Now you only buy it once and you can start servers, etc. without having to pay monthly/yearly or whatever.

                            I like that they finally implemented Classic CTF where random runes drop and you have the grappling hook. Too bad that a lot of the player base where I am I think seems to prefer CA more than anything.

                              @Mindf!3ldzX:

                              Vain hope, I suppose. I'm thinking (hoping) that the Steam Workshop integration may encourage different players to create some stuff - and you never know what might come of that.
