Why does everybody keep crowing about Steam when you can get it for less than half that ($4.45) through Amazon? Not only will you have it on disc, but if you order it through the link here you'll help out Subsim as well?

And no, I'm still not giving them my money until the DRM is totally removed.

Steam is great when you have a well support game with updates. Not the case at all with SH5. I don't know if with Steam you are forced to log onto both Steam and ubisoft. Two ways to fail connection.

I did take advantage of the Steam discount though and got some DLC for RailWorks2.

I will admit that I'm biased. When I tried to download the UBM add-on for SH4 several years ago, Steam told me I couldn't because I wasn't in the United States.




I live in Utah.
