I love steam - works great. Good MP choice 1C.

Bad thread title is bad tho.

The faq has not been further clarified as of yet, but it does seem to be indicating that Steam is required. Hopefully we'll know for certain soon.

You are monitored in every aspect of your life by far more sinister and intrusive elements than Steam. Realistically, you've nothing to fear from it. For instance, the Steam hardware surveys are tremendous - why would you worry about that? You can of course opt out of them.
