Does Steam own EMPIRE Total War? I tried to install Empire on a clean system and it requested Steam.

So there's a novel idea - put out a great game and tie it to your own control system.

I wonder what marketing genius thought of that?*censored*? double posts?No, not a double post. This is a different question. Read it.

I'm asking if Empire is tied to Steam - that wasn't my point before.oops. my bad

Steam does not own it. they are working together. I noticed in Defense Grid it says that the game can be run INDEPENDENTLY. I'm sure the same is true of Empire.

Exactly how does one do that???not too sureAre you wanting to remove Steam?
Why?Do not remove steam its the only way that you can play your game. IF you remove it, there is no legal way of playing the game. period.

This thread is not about removing Steam, it is in REGARD to Empire Total War and its ASSOCIATION with Steam.

Can Empire run alone? That is the question. When I run it on another computer it brings up a Steam registration request.

Basic question is: How can I get this game to run solo?No.Quote from: BC_Programmer on March 12, 2009, 01:10:31 AM
