I have a Steam account, which is fine, that isn't what I am asking. My interest is with how it works (first time). I purchased a very cheap copy of RUSE and decided to give it a go. The label on the box says that internet is required for activation, so that is fine as well. Most games I have, required internet activation of the code. Then after much stuffing around, it appears that internet isn't just required for activation, it is required to play it. Is that right? Is that how Steam works?
I just wanted to play the damn game, but it was even worse than trying to play a new PS3 game. So many downloads or whatever it was doing. I just gave up. Why can't I play the game offline? Is that possible? I flatout don't want to be online to play games - that is my choice. Do I have to get a "back-up" copy of the game to play without all the hassles (which is legal if you own the game in my country)?
So, educate a gamer - what am I missing here? What do I need to know about Steam and how it works for retail games. Thanks.
