Right now there still are many people that don't play SK over Steam, I know that. There even are many that don't WANT Steam. That may all be the case, but EVERYTHING points toward that being the best solution.
Sega obviously doesn't really care about this game. OOO seem to either have severe trouble keeping up with what should be done, or to jut not care as well.
The ones that fear that this game will close it's servers within the next 1-2 years become more and more each day. (Few in the forums but alot in the game.)
Before that happens, we could look at what Valve has to offer:
- Stable Servers
- Workshop
- Market
- Resources
- A long history of "actually giving a damn"
Pretty much everything that we are missing right now. Just think about the possibilitys! This game actually living up to it's potential! Maybe... maybe even running on a decent software and not Java! *gasp* I know the last one sounds like it will never happen, but we are all free to dream.
While SK and Steam have been making out a few times now, it is unlikely that Sega would sell it. But it would be really great if they did.

You don't even know how they may handle it, if they take it or not, or change it completely, or is dropped to something like EA.
