Steam or Non-Steam?

[Koranis]

Hello fellow skippers,

I've been playing SH5 for a year now, using all sorts of fantastic mods. I've read that some of the more "beneficial" mods require the modification of the .exe file itself though, something not possible with the Steam version. The problem is that I bought my copy on Steam.

Now, I'd like to ask you one simple question: do you think that the modifications and improvement that come with the modifiable exe file warrant the purchase of a boxed copy?

I might be willing to spend those money if it is really a game-changer.

And I apologize in case this topic is a tired one.

Thank you
