I think Empire has to be registered with steam to play, and it definitly does for the special edition, as you have to register to download the content |

^ Steam isn't that bad. Certainly worth going through it for a new TW game imo.

You're not buying this because of Steam activation?
Steam is great, and we should embrace it if they use Steam as a copy protection instead of anything else. So you have to make an account and activate it online - this will take you the best part of 5 minutes. Some people are a bit too fussy for their own good. |

"More beneficial for me to steal it"?
What the hell is that meant to mean? I imagine it's 'more beneficial' to steal any game, since you then always pay fuck all and are just generally a thieving cockend. Or have you developed some sort of mind-numbing twisted logic to defend not buying a game, just because it goes against some baseless emo-style terror you have of DRM because you once read Slashdot and got all nerd ragey? |

They're turning a buyers market into a sellers market taking several of your rights away embarking DRMs and you're applauding it? The critical consumer is truely dead.
Nonsense. There's the critical consumer, and there's the conservative, dogmatic luddite. Steam friends list, no need to keep the DVD in the drive, option to download it via Steam even if you bought the boxed verison on different PCs far outweigh any disadvantages. So, what's left? No resale. Which isn't really an option for PC games, anyway, let alone for multiplayer ones, regardless of Steam. |

Grom, there's nothing wrong with pointing out the moral penalty of piracy, but doing so in such a way does you no favours (piracy = emo?).
On topic, I'd only ever played a bit of Total War (Rome, I think) around a friend's, but I think this will be my first purchase of the series. It looks fantastic from what I've seen so far. Stupid that I can't buy it from Steam at that ridiculous price though - I'll end up paying for pressing, packaging delivery and retailer's cut, then just chuck the box in the bin the minute it comes through the door. All I need is a sequence of 15 characters, it's so silly. But this is suposed to be a positive comment. Yay! for more Total War. |
