Wasn't there supposed to be an update that let us link our accounts to our Steam accounts this week? What happened to that? Any news?
Where is the Steam account linking?
They said "The ETA is sometime next week" ...last week...so...I would hope we'd at least get an update on the ETA...
Hoping it's ready soon. They've got to work with the Steam folks to make this happen, so the delay might not be wholly on the Three Rings end-- maybe there was some unexpected issue popping up on the Steam end.
I'd say that the week isn't over yet, and hopefully at the very least we get an update on the ETA.
no news as I have been checking in anticipation. The place to check if you wanted to yourself are the twitter account and the announcements section in these forums. My guess is since they already were working on a content update that maybe steam slowed them down a bit. We still have the rest of the day for them to make the usual thurs bi- weekly content patch. We also have the rest of the week for them to meet the promise of " next week" that was posted about the steam integration.
I'm assuming they're also working on fixing the oilers and adding the new gremlin content.
Also I believe they're in Pacific time, 3 hours behind the Eastern time zone that I (and presumably a number of other players) live in. It's currently just about 10AM over there, so they likely just arrived to work one or two hours ago. Give it a bit.

In time. In time.
Thanks Dirt, I was unaware ETA could be a verb.
Dirt wasn't defining "ETA" ([E]stimated [T]ime of [A]rrival), which is a noun. Dirt was defining "Estimate," which can be noun or a verb.
The point is, they were guessing when they came up with the ETA, because that's what an estimate is: guesswork. It's not a guaranteed schedule or timetable.
Perhaps related...

(Jun 22) "Valve just recently invited us to allow Steam login on our forums, so we're now getting to work on making that happen!"
Interfacing forum accounts... Perhaps this is progress on interfacing game accounts.
Or maybe it means there was a delay and they couldn't even begin work on interfacing accounts until just Wednesday.
