Steam and ETW

[Sir Beane]

These are the facts:

When Empire is installed it will need an internet connection once, to verify it is a legitimate purchase. After that you need never connect to the internet again.

If Steam is online it 'phones home' to check for updates, not to verify your game.

If you are playing the game with Steam online it might record your Steam Achievements and playtime and that is it.

Steam is not some kind of evil third party software designed to get information. Millions of people use it everyday without incident. If it had sinister connotations we would know about it by now.

We do not need another discussion/flamewar about DRM and Steam so regretably I am going to have to close this thread.

Should you wish to discuss the issues surrounding Steam as a DRM platform then please do so in the Backroom where they can handle the heated discussion, thank you.
