Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / July 2006Will Steam Still Work After The USA Is Nuked?
As the illegal war in Iraq rages,and the USA and UK governments allow Israel to threaten Iran and Syria and knowingly allow themselves to be drawn into complete war with the middle east.The outcome can only be China nukes the USA.When this happens will steam still work,where are valves servers located and could I get my money back if the whole of USA infrastructure is destroyed? Get used to offline mode! And forget about multiplayer- probably be illegal in a communist world. China would be more likely to nuke Korea or Japan than the USA, so Sony can use that as an excuse for the delays in PS3 release!! IMHO, the UK/US are not "allowing" Israel to threaten it's neighbours, but that Israel will do what it thinks is in it's best interests and the rest of the world be damned. Must dash now and get stuck into BF2, don't care what team I play as, long as its against the MEC!!! Carpe Diem old chap! and, dulce et decorum est pro patria mori! The middle east would benefit from a decent carpet bombing with nukes. LOL! What would you want as a refund??? US dollars??? HeHe... What a fool... Take it in Wampum.... >As the illegal war in Iraq rages,and the USA and UK governments >allow Israel to threaten Iran and Syria and knowingly allow themselves >to be drawn into complete war with the middle east.The outcome >can only be China nukes the USA.When this happens will steam still >work,where are valves servers located and could I get my money back >if the whole of USA infrastructure is destroyed? -- Jack Harney AKA "Cannon Fodder" AKA "Grumpy Old Fart AKA "Certified Senior Curmudgeon" From Civ - 5 "I have the cultural tact of a Cuban Pig" AGHL points for your effort.... Gracefully accepted :) RE: What would you want as a refund??? US dollars??? Very good point there,people hate the USA, but aren't shy about taking the Dollar! Just like North Korea, who benefits from US grain imports. > As the illegal war in Iraq rages,and the USA and UK governments > allow Israel to threaten Iran and Syria and knowingly allow themselves > to be drawn into complete war with the middle east.The outcome > can only be China nukes the USA.When this happens will steam still > work,where are valves servers located and could I get my money back > if the whole of USA infrastructure is destroyed? Please be reminded that computer games won't improve your real muscles, and lung-heart functions. Real sport does. So it's more healthy for you to play less with computers. :)  Signature.~.

Thinking logically we can check this on several points. 1. The Internet was built with an nuclear attack in mind. Anyone attempting to take it out would find it suprisingly strong. 2. Valve has european servers . Matchmaking services in europe would probably work.American services could be routed through europe with high latency.(but really, would anyone be playing games while their country is being nuked)Disconnects would probably happen after every blast. 3.I think Valve would have worse to deal with then refunding your money , so no. >> As the illegal war in Iraq rages,and the USA and UK governments >> allow Israel to threaten Iran and Syria and knowingly allow themselves [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > 3.I think Valve would have worse to deal with then refunding your money > , so no. You've gotta take into account the EMP blasts that come from nuclear detonations too. They'd fry any electronics within a certain radius and travel much farther along the wires. |
