If Stonehearth really does become the game that we see in the early videos it will not need Steam. Imagine what Minecraft would be had it been on Steam. There are some absolutely fantastic handcrafted houses that took the creators 100's of hours to develop, but because it doesn't have every crafting station and 50 chests in it, 20% of the player base will give it 1 star making it a 3-star creation at best. And getting a 5-star is impossible as people play games for different reasons. It's nothing more than a rolling short-term popularity contest with no real percistence. Steam Workshop is a complete mess when it comes to building a real mod community. You get one forum that isn't easily accessible or moderated by community moderators. Steam isn't really a community platform for games. So any community that exists outside of Steam will likely not be able to interchange content with the Steam Community. Steam splits games from their core community by not granting access to the non-Steam community. But I'm frightful of the negative impact Steam can have on such a potentially great game such as Stonehearth. I've got over 250 titles on Steam (not including Demos or F2P).
