Buying From Steam

So let me see if I've got this straight: The SH-III DVDs being sold on Amazon do not have Starforce on them? Because I've always wanted to try my hand at the game. (I've only played SH-IV, which I enjoy very much. It's hard to beat at today's prices, but fear of infecting my rig with a Starforce crap-circus has kept me away. That's all gone now?

I know the Steam version is clean.

People here in the past have mentioned that if you buy via Amazon, you need to make sure, if you are buying through an Amazon Marketplace seller, they are not selling the original, pre-patch, still-Starforce software.

As it has not been an issue for me, I must admit I have not read those threads carefully, but they are out there if you search.

The original DVD comes only with basic instruction and a fold-out keyboard map. So you aren't missing much if you buy via download.

I was familiar with the game, of course, before buying via Steam. I am sure I would have considered a hard copy buy more carefully, otherwise.
