I don't know if you have noticed it (because you don't talk a lot about it :P ) but the Steam WorkShop has been launched for all the ManiaPlanet titles with the release of TrackMania² Valley.

If you want to know how it works, you just need to read the blog: http://blog.maniaplanet.com/blog/2013/0 ... niaplanet/ :thumbsup:

I can't wait to see more and more creations from you! \o/

Aslong tracks can't be added to servers straight away like they can from Mania-Exchange there's nothing to worry about.

People with a keen eye for high quality skins and models will always know where to find Maniapark. The only threat here is little irritating pirates selling on goods from Maniapark they haven't made theirselves.

Steam: IMO, yet another waste of time and resources from Nadeo.

Nope, since it adds up to advertisement of the game, adds up on payment methods etc. etc.

Just the way Maniaplanet doesn't work correctly with Steam (restart the game etc.) makes it much worse, but the advertisement etc. is the main reason they did it (I hope).

So Steam gets a 'share files' link in the game?

Lovely for them, isn't it.

If only there was somewhere else to share maps MrA, you know of anywhere? ;)

The thing is that this severely promotes usage of the steam workshop while people 'forget' of MX/Maniapark/...
I agree with zarexz though, but still..

Yes, I know, that is my fear too. My previous post was meant to imply that we have TMX for map sharing!

steam is okay, how maniaplanet works in steam atm is not okay, another community division is not okay either.
