Will ETW retail be a standalone version (no Steam install)?

If you keep asking for that demo someone at CA is going to give the order to have you 'disposed of'.

I live in a far off land, CA has nothing on me :P, and we shall see who visits who if the demo dosn't come

Hey guys.

I know that this is a topic that people like to discuss very passionately, but please, let's try to keep things civil. We don't want the lock crew* coming down on this thread.

Thanks for dropping in and shedding a bit of light on the subject Jack, we weren't sure if we would be able to play offline for a while there. I know it was at the forefront of many minds.

*Starring Martok and Nelson. This Fall on NBC

Yes, people, let's keep our passions in check, let's not get out of control over wanting a single item..........

Okay who am I kidding.

Steam though seems okay since you don't have to be online to use it.

I guess it's like a launch window and has a offline mode.

I havn't used steam since Half Life 1 I think, or blue shift maybe so no idea.

That's exactly what Steam is like. Boot up Steam in offline mode, browse list of games, pick a game, play. No disk required.
