Empire Total War uses Steam Copyprotection?

Crud!!!!

I guess this is one game I refuse to play once again. They are killing PC gaming. It's like they force you to get the pirate version.

Yes, find more excuses to not pay, if that helps you.

Not only did you not read my post, if you knew anything about me from the 10K posts I've made on this board, you'd know I buy every damn game I play.

I would be more worried if you wanted to be friends. As for 10K posts, I usually dont read your topics.

At least something we agree on since the feeling is mutual.

Ow for fark's sake. Buy the game and use *cough* to not make it use Steam if you're so darned paranoid about the thing. And just to recap, ETW needs steam only during install, then you can happily switch your steam to offline mode.

As for the next generation of idiots spreading FUD about Steam because WON died or Counter Strike got updated.

Steam Copy protection is one of the least powerful out there. The ONLY thing it is there for is to keep the average Joe from cracking it within 5 mins.

Unlike some other companies. Valve is not dumb enough to expect their CP to even put a serious dent in piracy but you have to have SOMETHING or nobody will ever trust you to publish the games.

Still, no need for the comment that I edited out.

So far, this is my first steam game. It seems like it is the same thing as CoH, where it checks in everytime you play, or you need the disk? Still is obnoxious though.

I think like with CoH as long your connected to the internet you will not need the Disc in the drive.

You don't need the CD to play, because you will install the entire game in your computer.

Oop, beat me to it.
