ac1dtest: This seems a bit crazy? I just purchased this game for LAN gaming. But there is no option for playing? WTF? Is this genuinely the case? Can I get a refund? Quite frustrating.
I read a comment on the Supreme Commander Gold Edition page that made glowing support of the online multiplayer experience and community through Forged Alliance Forever (faforever.com) and it flooded back fond memories of Starcraft battlenet back in 1998. Hastily added to cart and checked-out. Opened browser tab to go to faforever to create an account, and in large font STEAM LINKING MANDATORY. Well that should be no problem, right? I can add the game to my Steam account with the key like I did with Elite Dangerous in the long long ago... Oh wait...
Steamdb shows Supreme Commander Gold Edition goes on sale...frequently...at 80% also ($2.59). Grabbing refund and adding Steam version to wish list. Wish it weren't so :(.
