It connects to steam to install. It's a steam game, i.e., you cannot play with your family member or friends with one purchase. If you want multiplayer games, each person has to buy a separate copy, which stinks big time!!

If you're going to purchase it from Steam, then obviousy yes. If you purchase it from Amazon, no. I purchased the download version of MTW II . No Steam required, even in disk format.

Install Steam and activate the game within steam. Download the steam client here: store.steampowered.com

I think so. When game is installed it installs Steam. Steam typically must access the online server before any of its games will play. There may be eceptions.

It's for both. Frankly I wouldn't even download it, you don't need to. Just purchase the download and then get the activation code. You can find it in the "my digital media" (or something similar) tab under "my account" of amazon. Once you have it, just go into steam, and activate the code. There should be a drop down option like "activate non steam game" or something similar. For more info on that check google.

If I remember rightly it is a Steam code, pretty sure. So you need the Steam client and you put the code in there and then download the game throughout there. Assuming it's the PC version you are buying.

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

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.

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.

No, not if you tie it to your Steam account. You will need two licenses. Steam has a sale occasionally, got mine for $2.99 around Christmas.It's still worth the $20 if you like the game. I have put at least 50 hours into it playing multiplayer with the kids. No issues, no glitches, great graphics on Win7 and 8.1.

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

The PC download is a direct download to your computer and then connects to your Steam account. if you do not know what steam is, than I suggest downloading it. Steam is an online videogame program where you can buy and download computer games instantly. It is basically GameStop on the computer. Once you download Steam and create a Steam account, Empire Total War should automatically sync into your Steam games library. Amazon and Steam do a good job at walking you through, Step-by-step. This game is great and I hope you enjoy It-James

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

In my experience with Train Simulator 2015 I would have to say that steam is needed to finalize the install and paltry the game. However I do not know if you need to be connected to the internet to play the game after you install the game.

It has a key which allows you to add it to your steam library after installation. I believe I downloaded the game files with amazon but it is also now in my steam library.

Typically not without finding a crack somewhere online. Most games require CD authentication unless you are using a platform like Steam or Origin.

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
