Worms + Steamworks = Awesome. :D

Dammit! And I just got done removing the worms off my PC!...oh, we mean the game right? =P
Sounds awesome.

"it will be a return to classic 2D game play"
Thumbs up.

Wonder if they're going to do anything different with it this time. As much as I loved the worms series, the only difference between worms and worms world party was IP play, a few backgrounds and a handful of weapons that could have been added with an expansion
Now World Party would be a freaking awesome addition to the GOGalogue

Uhm, it seems Team 17 exhausted all the "casual" platforms to squeeze every single blood cell from their "worms" so they are returning on the PC. Do not want anyway, I'm fucking tired of this kind of silly games. Gimme meat....

I like the that that they're back in 2D. Not that I disliked the 3D ones, but they didn't feel the same.

Damn. Steamworks =( That means the only place to buy it will be on Steam and I really don't want to give any money to Valve anymore. I'll pass on this until it's in a dirt cheap sale as a result.

Not to mention casual gamers may get put off by the more complex 3D. A full screen overview will always offer more appeal.

Passing on this until they release it on Impulse. (lol)

Absolutely getting this!
Thanks for the news.

ooh wow!! aaaaaanother Worms game!! ...meh...
Can I get a new Alien Breed or Superfrog game for the PC instead, Team17??

The very first one was the best one. And maybe the second one (or was it expansion?).. Anyway, before they got the "candy-look".
When we will get the couple of first ones in GOG? :)

Worms + PC = Awesome
Worms + Steamworks = Epic Fail
Without using Steamworks, they could still sell the game on Steam, as well as everywhere else. Making the game Steam only means they will cut themselves off from a small but sizable chunk of their potential customer base. I used to hold Team17 in very high regard, but these past 10 years, they've just been going downhill fast.

And, of course, using Steamworks gives them full integration of a web browser, support for cloudy goodness (persistent stuff), a good server browser, potential to use VAC, a very large userbase already, and support for all the community crap Steam is trying to add.
In exchange, they lose people who don't have Steam accounts and are morally opposed to getting them.

That's what our new PC game needs: A web browser!
For which savegames, exactly?
I'll give you those two.
You mean the game will be given free to all existing Steam users? Because that's the only way that sentence made sense.
Yay! Facebook! Note that the key word in your description was "crap".
There's nothing immoral about using Steam. It's simply a question of how much you're willing to be inconvenienced for the sake of playing a game.
