    Yes very good questions Nebuchadnezzar.

    I'd like to see a response to those.

    And just to be clear.

    There is a ONE TIME ONLY requirement to register the copy with Steam? Not a one time per single player session?

    That means; I install the game from DVD or CD; install the "Steam" client as part of that install process; then register the game; then shut "Steam" down and play happily ever after wards; unless I see a patch of course in which case; I start "Steam" up again; download the patch; then shut "Steam" down again?

    Correcto?

    Yeah, I know that was a typo on your part, and that we won't be seeing GalCiv 3 anytime soon. I had to do it anyway, though.







    Anyway, back to topic:

    That's my understanding of how it'll work, yes. From what CA has said, we'll only need Steam for the initial install/authentication and for patches/updates (if you play only singleplayer, that is). Otherwise we shouldn't need to bother with it.

    Ha steam,
    I remember the old days when me and my cs clan blasted those noobish clans away.
    We had computers so didn’t needed girls…
    Thank god that all changed J.

    But seriously, I remember when steam came out and have to honestly say that I have always been a happy steam user.
    And if I would ever feel the urge off playing online again Steam will be the first program I’ll install.
