I'm still getting my PC copy of the game, so I hope all this "no dedicated server" crap won't be much of a problem when I'm actually playing it... <hr /> <b>@Soutear</b> Lol yes it is a cheap tactic. However I will choose Steamwork support over any game with GameSpy ID login (Borderlands PC)... @atmchino
