That is until I read a few month ago…..the game will be released for pc in May.

Another reason is I prefer my pc-games on disc/DVD. addons is another thing, I try to download those from the their homepage.

Check if they game is also going to be available on gog.com , it's still digital but no DRM. You can use the installer or goggalaxy (similar to steam but 100% optional and only maintains your game up to date & achievements)

I did notice that I didn't download the file to my HD but that it was loaded up directly from STEAM. Does that mean I don't actually own the game, only the ability to play it thru STEAM only?
On Amazon you download it to your HD and then load it up.
You only need the access key they give you. Same as when you buy the DVD version.
I like the DLC because I do a lot of traveling and with it on my laptop I can play it any were anytime without needing to take a bunch of disk with me.
Lately I have added an HDMI cable to my gear and hook it up to whatever flatscreen TV they have in the hotel.
Works pretty cool.

Yes since STEAM is the DRM you need to run it for most of the games you purchase through STEAM, however offline mode is available when you don't have acces or don't want to be connected to the internet (public wifi for example).
So it is possible to install games on the laptop you wish to take with you when traveling, flip steam into offline mode and play wherever you'd like.
Though make sure that the game hasn't got his own DRM next to the STEAM Client (Yes, they do excist and yes it's absolutely ridiculous) that does require a constant internet connection even for single player. Also Multiplayer games require you to be online in Steam for a reason that some games use the steam service to connect or create servers to play with others.
While I don't have a bad experience with Steam recently most of my purchases if available is on gog.com . No DRM is best DRM. It gives me a option to use a program called goggalaxy or the seperate game's installer so I can install games the old way, the way I want, where I want and on how many devices I want.
''but piracy has to be stopped'' Yes, but you're not making a good case if you prevent, interupt or spoil my gaming experience by chaining my PC to a god awful DRM service.
