Age of Conan available on Steam

Second MMO joins Valve service.

Funcom's dark fantasy MMO Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is now available on Steam at a discounted price of USD 44.99.

It's the second MMO to be made available on Valve's digital distribution platform, after everyone's favourite space politics simulator, EVE Online.

Funcom has already made the game available for download from its own servers, bypassing the need to pick up a boxed copy.

Funcom recently detailed some forthcoming updates to Age of Conan to reassure players that its currently "thin" content would be fleshed out.

However, we're still waiting for the first of these - an overhaul of the game's player-versus-player combat system.

You might want to wait for the 360 version - which Funcom is working on for a 2009 release instead.
