Workshop; is it a possibility?

[Doomsday4766]

I was just thinking, not even sure if it is possible , but does anybody know if the devolopers or Steam would add it if enough people asked? It would be so useful to have an integrated workshop for EAWFoC

Edit: changed 'a' to 'an'

How many extra copies of the game will it sell? 100,000? Probably not.

Because a Workshop requires a major gutting, and relies on the game being distributed through Steam - because it leaves out anyone who bought from outside Steam - it's rare to see an old game be retrofitted with a Workshop.

Also, it requires intervention not from Steam, but from LucasArts, who... don't exist anymore.

Rarity doesn't mean "can't happen".

"distributed through Steam"? Many games which have Steam Workshops (e.g. Total War games) are bought on discs at shops and connected through Steam. They don't require that the entire game be downloaded from Steam - only an update.

We can still achieve it. There's a first time for everything.

You're such an optimist, but thats why I like your comments and I must agree with you. Yeah, we (the Star Wars community) could achieve it and of course it would be awesome to see one click modding in this game.

Well, Squad of Kerbal Space Program fame keep using that as their key argument.

I don't know what that means - I don't know what "Squad" means. Is that a gaming company? They have used that in the past as an argument for what? Anyway, regardless of the details, we can still achieve it. There's a first time for everything.

Yeah bro, we can achieve it, like in that film "the Internship"!

Actually, considering what just hapenned for KOTOR 2 (yes, Workshop!), it won't be the FIRST time.

It's just that KSP forums keep getting demands for Workshop on a weekly basis, and we're forced to reiterate the first reponse in the first pinned thread.

Squad is, basically, a dozen devs out of Mexico who proceeded to produce an outright Early Access hit.

And that hit, dare I say, has a bigger modding community than EAW.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Internship - I love this film - I saw it last night - and I heartily recommend it!

I guess you mean that the game developers haven't made a Steam Workshop for that Kerbal game.

If you want to get a Steam Workshop, and merely writing on a forum hasn't achieved it, then I'd suggest an online petition with LOTS of signatures, gained by promoting the petition in many places, including Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc..

No worries. The petition will be shouted down by the majority of people, who consider the manual mod installation to be both easier and more flexible than any Workshop would be. I'm running what, 32? 40 mods? Of which I've fixed, cropped or altered about half.

And then we have the Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network, a fan-made pseudo-Workshop.

Manual mod installation is not easier, nor more flexible than the simple 1 or 2 click system of the Steam Workshop.

What, are you promising to mobilise the majority of people to prevent a Steam Workshop? Even if you are promising that, we who campaign for the simple 1 or 2 click system of the Steam Workshop are campaigning for something that makes life easier, something inspiring. Everything changes. Stubbornness cannot win against something that inspires.

Download. Open folder. Drop into folder "Gamedata". Done.

And I am supposed to take people who consider this difficult seriously?

No. You don't have to do anything. We are talking to people who are interested in POSSIBILITY, in a Steam Workshop. You clearly don't like new things, don't like possibilities, and prefer to troll and slander us as if you are "better" than us instead, so, I for one have no interest in trying to inspire you.

If you take convinience over flexibility... well, there's no talking sense into you anyway. Enjoy the rest of your life.
