Free Standalone dedicated servers for Brink:

- No words on Linux or LAN yet (see comments below FAQ link)

This means anybody can set up a server , without buying the game.

But it's via Steamworks (meh)

steamworks is a fucking godsend

Well , im going to be neutral on this, but i have my thought which i will keep them to my self.

some are saying that true (hardcore,pro,advanced win/linux users) PC users dislike steam because of the control and no way to buy retail games, everything goes throuhg the fancy fancy service which developer rely on a buggy system, and the steam hypers actually steered away from collector editions and bonuses, steam actually being a "beautiful" way of preparing the PC audience for payable DLC , also claiming that steam-fanboys were traitors to the PC community

and stuff like that , hehe , make your own conclusion

My conclusion is the steam backend is about the simplest system ever devised for setting up game servers
