Korneel van 't Land sent us a new press release informing the community Arma 3 will be a Steam exclusive.
Korneel van 't Land发给我们一个新发布的消息,arma3将会成为steam独占游戏。
Contrary what some people seem to believe this does not mean you can not buy a physical copy of the game, that will of course still be possible (but will depend on your region) or other digital distributions.
这并不意味着你卖不到实体版本了,实体版和其他分销方式的可能性还是有的(这要取决于你所在的地区)。
You will be given different options to buy the game, however Steam will be needed to run in the background to be able to play Arma 3.
游戏的购买有多重不同的选择,但是要想玩arma3 steam必须在后台运行才行。
Also an offline mode will be supported!同时,游戏也支持离线模式。
We would like to thank all people who informed us about this latest news and also thank all people who posted their concerns what this could mean for all different community efforts.感谢。。。
Thanks to Fr3eMan, RyanHunter24, MissileMoose, DaOarge and Blackheart_Six.

Ahead of their release plans announcement, Bohemia Interactive has revealed that Valve’s Steam will be required to play Arma 3. In a developer’s blog post, Project Lead Joris-Jan van ‘t Land explains the studio’s motivations, stating that the game could otherwise not be released in 2013.
在宣布发售之前,波西米亚互动披露运行arma3需要steam的支持。在一篇开发日志中,项目主管Joris-Jan van ‘t Land解释了工作室此举的目的,并说明要是不这样做游戏将无法在2013年发布。
The “Full Steam Ahead” blog post mentions a difficult phase in development, which also involved the recent incident in Greece. These setbacks drove the studio to re-evaluate the project, and Joris-Jan van ‘t Land refers to the decision for Steam as one of the steps to set Arma 3 back on track for a 2013 release.
“Full Steam Ahead”这篇日志提到了开发的艰难之处,同时也提到了最近在希腊的风波。这些波折都迫使工作室对项目进行了重新评估,而Joris-Jan van ‘t Land指出steam独占的决定是让arma3的开发重回正轨并使其能够在2013年按时发售的重要一步。
“As an independent developer, we’re constantly evaluating the way we develop, distribute and publish games. Valve made tremendous improvements to their system, which made the installation/update process much more user-friendly - for both developers and customers“ , adds Bohemia Interactive’s founder and CEO, Marek Španěl.
"作为一个独立开发商,我们不断地衡量着我们开发、销售、发行游戏的方式方法。valve公司在他们的系统上做得很完美,能够让用户更加方便的安装、升级游戏产品,这对开发者和消费者都有好处"bis创始人ceo marek spanel说道。
“We realize that some people may find it difficult to migrate to a new platform, especially if they were used to purchasing and playing our games without any external third-party application. We have evaluated the pros and cons, but in the end Steam enables us to release Arma 3, brings massive advantages to the game, and improves the end-user experience. Not to forget, the majority of our players already come from Steam.“
“我们发觉到对一些人来说迁移到新的平台有些困难,特别是对那些过去习惯于不需要任何第三方应用就能购买和玩我们的游戏的消费者来说。我们认真衡量了利弊,但最终认为steam平台能让我们及时发布arma3,为游戏带来很多好处,而且能提升用户体验。别忘了,已经有很多玩家通过steam享受到了我们的产品。
Bohemia Interactive is also exploring the further integration of Steamworks functionality, which would enable game features that are impossible to develop in-house, on time. Joris-Jan van 't Land: “Valve’s Steamworks offers some cool features that can help us to enhance the Arma experience where it matters. We’ll save the exact details for a later update, but to summarize our priorities in two key words: user-generated content and multiplayer.
”波西米亚互动也更深入地探究了一些steamworks的功能,这些功能能够让某些很难从内部、即时实现的产品特点得以实现。
Based on the latest progress and the current state of Arma 3, he ends his blog post in confidence: “We feel strongly that our decision is paying off, and soon you'll get a chance to see why.”
面对arma3最近取得的一些进步和目前的状态,他颇有信心地在日志的最后总结道:“我们坚信这些决定将会取得成效,并且很快大家就会有机会见证这些。”

Boxed copies of Arma 3 will still be available at retail in most regions. These will either be Steam Codes in a retail package, or also contain DVD data to speed up installation. |
