So if you don't want to use the disk to play you can play via steam right?

Yes, essentially the disc is there only for the installation. All launching and play of the game would be from Steam.

I never put the disk back in after install, im not 100% certain if you need the disk for install but you do not need it to play afterwords.
1972614
Correct but if you are a steam user you can get the game through them and avoid the DVD, free frisbee.

I am forced to keep the disk in the drive. There may be a way to play without the disk, but I'm not aware of it.

It is Right. After I installed the game on the steam plataform, I never needed to use the disc again. After installed the game on the steam plataform you can play offline or online, both without the disc.

There is a setting on Steam, that allows you to play offline. I think if you choose the game and Polk around on Steam's settings you can find it, plus Steam has that question and answer on their website.

yes you can I actually downloaded some of my games from the original disk. I Hope my answer helps you.

Hi Robert, yes you can. You get a download code, so the game gets added to your steam library and you can download on any computer as long as you log in with your steam account.Hope you enjoy!

No, you don't. Once you install the game, you can go on to play without the Disc.

Normally you can't. There's a feature called Steam Family Sharing that will authorize users to access your games. I don't know the details, but that should point you in the right direction.And in response to Jim, all big games like this require a good amount of disk space.

I actually bought the DVD, but it does require a Steam account to play. Once I got onto Steam, I saw that it offered the download version. So, although I can't be sure, I think you could download the game to play through Steam.

Because I've not tried to play games from a disc using this drive, I don't know for sure. Maybe you can. If you can copy the game from the disc (in the drive) to your computer, I suppose it is possible. However, copy protection might be an obstacle.

I think you need steam to play it but you can always play offline if thats all you wanna play.

It does support the steam app.... Only games that don't check for Internet connection can be played offline.... Emulators and stuff like that can be played offline.... Same with the streaming from computer as long as your computer is connected to your router

No, wifi or cable connection to internet is not needed to play. All steam games work offline once installed over internet, except the MMO games which are only online multiplayer.

Nope. Just the nineteen dollar one and you activate it on Steam, then download the game to your computer. Nothing to it. You can download it over and over if you update a hard drive or get a new computer. But it is your game, you own it. You can back it up to anyplace you like on your computer to have a "local" copy of it if you like. Been using Steam since it was Valve and never had any issues. Steam keeps your games updated automatically if you desire too.

You need to have steam. Mine works with steam. Steam will update it. You dont need the disks just the key on steam and steam will do the rest

Yes. This game is an online code so you need steam account and steam to play it.
