Was there ever any reason why all the X-Wing/Tie Fighter games never made it onto Steam?
Totally Games is a bunch of stupid people who hate selling stuff and now live off the DARPA dole instead of actually making games? That might explain why they haven't made a game since a Buzz Lightyear shovelware in 2005. (No, the iPhone game doesn't count.)
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.
Battlefront 2 made what was in BF1 fun, then added some interesting features that... didn't quite come off right, and dragged the rest down. Boarding enemy ships and using hero characters were great ideas. Execution was lackluster.
If Pandemic had made BF3, those features probably would have been made fun, but who knows if whatever new, un-iterated features added would've worked.

Missed this one too. I've got a couple of boxed copies, but my friends always seem to enjoy it as a simple FPS, and Steam makes these things easy. I'd have bought 4 of it. Ah well. These day-a-week sales only work for me when there's a holiday period or something. When I'm at work, I'm busy or tired most nights.
