I would stay of steam as often as possible. Got earlier OOTP direct and some other games via steam. Those steam-installed have always created mess beside the fact that you now have an extra "supervisor" that sometimes don't let you just fire up and play. I play mostly offline, but often steam refuse and I have to log in and mess about with certain checks. For crying out load I buy a game no-one should then keep check if I be permitted to play.
Then I must say the folder structure is massively messy, so when trying to "fix" anything you have difficulty to find were. Then if steam think you miss something they just reinstall whatever without you knowing a damn thing. They rule the game. Often in my mind. What happens if steam brakes down ?? OK for some it might be easier to install, but really this game isn't that hard to setup and you always keep control of any updates. Steam has found a brilliant middleway to make money on PC users that can't handle their PC. The idea to then get the rest in the fold too is just a master genius stroke. I really honor OOTP for still staying with the option on having steam or regular. Fewer and fewer game do this. Hopefully OOTP never have to bow 100% to Steam. |

Sounds like you are one of those that can't handle their PC, too. In four years I have never had any sort of problem like you are describing.

So for that I'm pretty grateful |

If the Steam price is 20 dollars then I would maybe buy it because I have other Games on Steam like City Skylines minus DLC's because of Graphics Card. Also can't buy Steam version yet.

I take it then that if I get this game tomorrow that I cant just put the key into Steam?
Really want to play it, but am worried about going outside of Steams platform for it.. mainly as its ease of use to update and not having to backup this that or the other. |

I have a few games on steam, but I always have and probably always will get OOTP direct.
