And yet you still decided to use the term "spyware" in conjunction with Steam.
You claim to have read it correctly but appear not have really understood it.

Scary stuff. Big brother is watching!

Steam version: log-in to steam, open the in-game lobby, choose server, join non-steam version: run 3rd party server browser, select server, click join, game launches and connects As for the DRM, the info from Ubi is just like it is for Steam, ie mandatory and vague with no mention of version: "the game will use Solidshield DRM and require a steam account". It's on the official Ubi page for the game, so unless we hear otherwise you're pretty much as screwed as the non-steamers are Last edited by KG26_Alpha; 03-19-2011 at 10:46 AM. |

B) That's not a precedent as ARMA 2 doesn't use Steamworks. You can buy it through STEAM like many multiplayer games, but unless they specifically use Steamworks they use their own MP platform. C)If 1C Maddox does make it so you can choose to use another server browsing service that would be pretty neat. D) That's the only thing about all this that stinks imo. TAGES has proven to be awful so many times, so I am going to hope against hope that some of the conclusions I've come to are correct. |

... looks like the DVD version will NOT have/need Steam ....
"Finally, if you buy the physical version of the game, there will be no need to download anything additional in order to play the game. An internet connection will be required to activate the game, and for online play, but that is it. The game only uses SteamWorks for match-making and not the Steam DRM."

^ I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but so far Steamworks always required Steam to work (big surprise). And I doubt this is going to change only for CoD.
I dunno what's going on, don't people understand that this game will require Steam, or don't they want to understand? |

http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/03/steam-update-ma/ Kinda like double speak. It sounds a little better though. Now the other question. Are the digital downloads region specific? Meaning can I buy a digital download from the UK and have it unlocked in the US on its Steam activation day in the UK? |

From what I've read, no. Steam looks at where you're logging in from and your content has to match that. Doesn't matter where you download it from, what matters is if that content is 'suitable' for your region. There have even been cases where people have moved to different parts of the world and had access to their games denied because those games aren't allowed in the part of the world they've moved to.
