I have read that it was better no to buy the Steam version and that Amazon was an acceptable choice.
However there are several packages available on European Amazon (France) and I wouldn't like to buy an old buggy one.
I noticed a KOL 2011 version, a SH5 2010 version, a Just for Games 2012 version and a collector version (with a stupid pricing of 50 Euros).
Could you help me in my choice ?

Thanks in advance.

- DON'T buy the Steam version, due to the limitations you already know.

- Most subsim members agree that Collector's Edition is very expensive compared to its modest extra-features.

- If you can't wait, any non-steam version available for download should be okay.

- My personal preference would go to any retail version on hard support. You can get the game for as cheap as 5-10 USD, shipping included.

- Last: if you decide to buy the game from Amazon, do it by clicking on the link at the upper right corner of this forum: Subsim will get a little commission from your purchase with no extra fees for you
