Rage for PC, Steam ?

[SkaarjMaster]

Anyone know if this PC game still requires Steam? I have an unopened PC game (yes, it's Rage) and was just wondering. Thank you.

Yes.

 

[Manticore]

Yes.

It's a pretty average FPS game though. Has some nice graphics but.......

And lots of people still have issues with it.

I've had quite a bit of fun with it however, and the story is alright. My kinda post apocalyptic setting

Still hoping this can be installed without Steam.....hmmmmm.........not yet though.....any rumblings anyone know of?

I can't even remember the last time I heard of a game dropping the requirement for Steam.

The DRM wars are lost, don't get your hopes up.

What's your problem with Steam?

 

[SkaarjMaster]

Never liked the idea of it and never will. That's my problem.

When they stop selling boxed video games, will you quit playing them?

D I raged when I discovered Deus Ex Machina required a Steam account/Steam to install, which still echoes in the account name I created.)

Just install Steam,
register an account with a sophisticated password and a user name that properly says what you feel about Steam ,
let Steam download and update the game,
start the game to ensure it's running,
then enable offline mode and whatever else is required (like not checking for steam updates or game updates, not using cloud this and that etc),
and when you are done, block Steam services in the firewall.

There is only one: Steam hack ...

Never liked the idea of it and never will. That's my problem.

ME TOO ...

Al, well as long as Unreal/UT series will keep installing and working I won't have that problem.

rejecht, thanks for the suggestions and I may actually do that eventually.

VendorX, yes that first thing was tempting and I did find a couple very interesting links with a google search, but I just can't do it.

 

[VendorX]

... but I just can't do it.

Why ..? There is nothing wrong as long as you have a legit copy.

 

[SkaarjMaster]

..even if it's stand-alone?

>steam evil = uplay evil

Just install it with Steam. Steam's not as bad as those 2003 STEAM IS THE DEVIL posts you find make it seem.
