Is the game's software eventually downloaded to my PC for off-line play, or must I always be on the web?

You can play it offline when there is no internet the only thing that require internet is the downloadable content the game itself doesn't require it.

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.

If you have the disc no However if you have the code yes Luckily you can play off line after you download it, and downloading steam is very simple and fast

No, it can be played offline too. In fact, I NEVER play this game online. Both "Star Craft" and "Brood War" can be played offline.

Yes, I play it without being connected to the Internet. It is loaded onto my desktop computer.

The program is downloaded or installed off the internet, sometimes I guess it's installed off of a disk. Mine was off the internet.

I have windows only and I have only one copy of this game. I had to download all my games all over again after I had some work done on my computer 2 years back. I was able to do this by going to digital content under my account and I clicked on your games and software library than click download. once you buy your virtual copy of the game it will be in your amazon games and software library you can than download on all your devices.

No. You will need to go to the Public Library or a friends house that has internet to download the software.

No, it loads something called "Steam" but the game installs on your PC and runs without being online.

You will need a internet connection, type in the activation code located in the CD case. This is a one time thing, and you must have the CD in your computer to play. It's a great game so enjoy.

Sort of, it's a disk and it'll install the base game (you'll need to have a steam account and be connected to the internet to have the game added to your account) but you'll need to download updates as well. I hope this was helpful!

It depends on what version. If you're writing about the PC version, Amazon only offers the Steam DRM version. But Steam allows you to play offline in most of their games. Then when you get back online, they'll sync your game play with what is on Steam's Cloud so they'll match. That way, if you play online after playing offline, your online game will begin right where you left it last.

Yes, it can be downloaded. When you purchase this game you get a free download version

Yes it is a disc you install to play the game. However, you must always be online to play the game... And yes I purchased it without knowing that feature (it's in very small print).

No, this is a stand alone PC version; Naturally you'll have to download into ur computer via the enclosed disk, but once downloaded you play the game like all PC games. You do have the capability of logging into the website where ur profile is saved but that is entirely optional.

Yes, it downloads into your steam folder and you can open from there offline.

You end having to make a Origin account , which has all the games you buy online. I only downloaded it to my laptop. Unsure if they have limited download to just one computer. They give you a product code just like a CD copy .. I would just buy the CD though looking back..
