    If you ain't got Steam, you ain't got multiplayer

    So yeah, I am obviously on the internet (Captain obvious moment there ).

    So I checked out the 'alternative' way of checking out Civ V (hoping no one is so dim they can't figure that out).

    Hmm it has not defeated the need for Steam for multi player. Must confess, that impressed me. Damn near nothing defeats protection eh.

    And this game loses massive sums of whoopdeedoo if played solo vs the AI (not a knock on Civ V though, I have NEVER once cared for computer gaming AI in anyone's game).

    So there it is I suppose. No Steam, no Civ V. Well not point in Civ V I suppose.

    Now that I have scratched that itch, I need to go and install my genuine copy of Civ V. Because I play solo reluctantly.

    uhm yeah...

    If you don't have the software infrastructure that the game uses to do multiplayer, you can't play MP. wow. Who would have saw that coming?

    If you ain't got the software installed, you can't play

    So yeah, I have the game installed (captain obvious moment)

    So I tried uninstalling the game (hope everyone knows what that means, wink)

    Hmm... I can no longer play the game! I must say, I'm impressed they thought of that. Damn near nothing allows you to play the game without the software eh?

    And this game loses mass amounts of whoopdeedoo if you can't run it.

    So there it is I suppose. No software, no playing. Well, can't play anyway.

    Now that I have figured that out I guess it's time to reinstall it so that I can play.

    How about that, I was wrong (about dim that is).

    But I was asked to drop this, so I am dropping this.

    Nope, I get it, but you are the dim one for bringing it up and posting this nonsense.

    Uh, I don't get it. How can you play without Steam? This goes for Single and Multiplayer. You telling me you can play Civ V without Steam?

    Piracy is never, ever, ever okay here. Posting about it gets you banned.

    Please don't steal from the devs who have spent years bringing you this game.
