Note that making the game available on Steam does not change the fact that Teeworlds is open source and will continue being free and open source!
So, what do you think?

Now that it's happening, I become a bit worried - will the project still be OpenSource and moddable by changing the server source code? And how we will handle the influx of new players? To be honest, I started this discussion a long time ago, but now I'm not so convinced myself... after some time I started to think that changes are not necessarily a good thing (especially in almost perfect product, like Teeworlds).

If we stick to using Steam only as another way to download a game, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad... but anyway, I'm a bit worried. It's surprising how one's view of some problem may change over time. Also, from today's point of view, the topic I wrote in the past was extremly biased, so I repaired it as I could.

Sounds good to me but regarding the whole issues of being open source and all that maybe they could put on the vanilla teeworlds on steam but also leave the open source version avaiable so that the client can be modded. Or find another way to have mods >.<

The site could then refer to either steam vanilla teeworlds or open source teeworlds. It's just that this game has so much potential and I don't think it has been fully explored yet and we need more people to do that.

I think it sounds like an excellent idea. It also looks to be extremely simple to do.

What about Desura instead of Steam?
Of course it's not as huge as Steam but still a quite big community.
Also no need to change the licensing there (take a look under Action games group):

Another vote for Desura. Bitfighter got a fresh injection of players from there and it's also open source.

Not sure about that.

if this happens I am gonna learn programming and help those developers I don’t care what it takes I am gonna do it.

an achievements system would be great to have on steam

oh and maybe some guys would help in development specially that the game will get more players, of course.

What about the licensing? I dont know much about greenlight but I dont think teeworlds will be able to be open source after it got accepted, allowing mods and clients floating around..
Another disadvantage: 100 $ fee \o/

why would the licensing change? there is no need to change the licensing, steam do not care, they will have more linux users attention and will loose nothing if the game is open source.

Why do people keep on putting it on there without even having officially anything to do with Teeworlds? If you want to put it on Steam make a fork and do it. Be sure to change the name though.

The latter one.

I was browsing the chrome app store and thought to myself "Teeworlds should be here." I have no idea the feasibility of this with googles native client, just thought I would share the idea. I would enjoy teeworlds on steam and/or chrome.

The only reason to put Teeworlds on Steam is to get advertising, which is kinda silly. You can have the Steam overlay on Teeworlds anyway.

The fee is not an issue.

You could raise money for the fee or even just for the developers by maybe actually trying to sell copy's of the game wich include a teeworlds sticker or something ( a t-shirt , lol i dunno) and in the 0.7 update ( or any later update) you could see a £ or € or a $ sign in the tab list wich would say who bought the game and supported the teeworlds developers.If you'd like to do something like that , try doing it now !
