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

Can I still play the game after uninstalling the game? I find games rather intrusive and they take so much HDD space, that could be an issue for some of us.

Well, I'm one of those who haven't had any major issues with Steam, it could be better but it isn't exactly bad as it is IMO.

Indeed. Let's please keep this thread focused on Steam as it will/may affect Empire. More general/specific discussions of DRM belong in the Arena or Backroom.

I think for me personally, my biggest concern is exactly how much of my CPU Steam is going to use. Given that my computer is -- by this point -- no longer considered "robust" (my processor is only a 2.2 Ghz dual-core), this is a non-trivial consideration for me.

I have to confess, the first time I read that, I thought you were serious. I was worried about you for a second there....

ive never had any experience with steam, this will be its first test with me to see if I like it......but again, I'm still confused. Can I play ETW singleplayer if I have no current internet connection(I think i heard somewhere about offline mode on steam)?

Yes, and no.

Confusing I know.

Yes you can play ETW singleplayer offline.

No, because you must be able to get online (either at home , or friends pc) to activate it.

Our best guess is once activated you don't have to be online anymore to play it.

Thought without a

DEMO

We can't really know *HINT HINT CA*

So this is why CountArach cries to me late at night about you not loving him.
