Do I have to have Steam to play this game?

I believe so, Bob! Cool game! You would like it, even better than Ghost Warrior (original version)

Yes, I bought it on Amazon and they sent me the game but I had to use Steam to play. Steam is ok except it can be a pain in the butt to log on with their password system. The game is very good. I think if you buy the game and not the download you should not have to fool with 3rd party sites to play the game.

It won't play on my machine unless I do have steam, annoying but necessary!

You do, yes. I hated the whole Steam concept in the beginning but I've come to accept it. If you buy games on sale at Steam it's a good deal. You just can't loan or re-sell what you've bought.

I use Steam to play this game. As always, may have to use a password, but I never had any problems with it. I have several games also on Steam and to-date no issues with it. Good game to relax with! Enjoy!

You must activate the game via STEAM. Once that is done, you will be able to play the game with or without internet or STEAM. why this is so; my guess is that you are prevented from selling the game to someone else without giving up your STEAM account.

some how the game is tied to steam so you need to load steam to play it. Sometimes I use steam off line and still play the game. you just will not be able to play with other people on the net if played off line

You don't need a steam account to buy it but you do need an account to play it.

Im guessing yes, because it will be on your computer and not from a pc disk, i dont think it will require Steam. Worth a shot?

Yes you put a Disc in and it will install on steam and you just need to find the code which is in the case the very front of the case

Yes, you need steam to play this game, and Amazon will send you a code to download the game through steam via email. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE AMAZON GAME DOWNLOADER. Hope this helps

I looked on the official forums for this game and it looks like yes, it is compatible with Steam. Steam is the platform for the multiplayer network and purchasing a physical copy give you access to it.

It's not a steam version but they have no difference between them. You can setup to have this game open in your steam library.

Yes. Don't waste time downloading this from Amazon, just use the code on steam to add the game.

Yes, the game requires Steam activation. The worst part about it is after a certain amount of time, you must go into online mode and sign in to "validate" your account. Never understood that.

Keys are not required for the game directly. I don't know how this works with steam- but you can install the game with no keys normally. The keys are put into your square-enix account via the account website. https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/Login?cont=account

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.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. This game does not require a Steam account, at least not the U.S. boxed version which I own.

no you dont need it to play the game but you do need internet connection to download the game because it uses steam to download it

Unfortunately I don't know. I did not download the game, I bought the disc. I don't think it uses steam though but I cant say that with certainty.
