Errr...the same way they are on every other service, maybe? Using server scripts and dedicated server software. Steam does not affect this. This server, for example is advertised on Hyperlobby and Xfire, it doesn't matter which one you use. What you want to be worrying about is the quality of the dedicated server/server management software.

and isnt that determined by the developer of the game and not Steam?

Yes. That is exactly my point.

Never had trouble with Steam. all the games i have bought through steam have worked.

Having to sign up to an online service for off line play is THE DUMBEST idea yet!

Makes Mickysoft an angle by comparison.

I think UBI is in big trouble to have to use another company to service its products.


Ironic that some of the most successful games offer a FREE base module, and you have to pay for upgrades.

Oh well,....


Edit:
This is not clear, but I assume it still needs subscribing to a service.

Do I have to be online to activate my game?

While the activation solution will initially attempt to activate your game online, you can elect to manually enter an activation code. You will need to enter the code that comes with your game into the activation wizard, you will then be given an activation code that you can enter manually. So, although you do not necessarily need to have your computer hooked up to the internet, you will need to go online to obtain a code before playing.

You have to activate Windows online and sign a EULA. So no different from Steam in that regard.

You do not have to pay any kind of service fee for using Steam. It is free to use.
