Thumbs down

Wow Valve has made sure to write down every possible loophole to ensure it can never be at fault.
So basically you want to play this game but it requires Steam to run. You don't want Steam, but you install it anyway. Then you decide that you hate Steam after using it - you want the activation code back, and they simply tell you all you can do is stop using the product and service. Because it's not "their" fault you are using 'their' service. WTF!

So if it is an online service that is "offered" to be accepted or not - you are either forced to use it or have a pointless disk on your shelf... WTF!

If I can't own my game in future; then I am just going to pirate a copy - because from what I have heard, the cracked version of CoD is Steam free - just water and ice. Therefore it means I am most likely to pirate a copy of BoM, especially since I have already payed $110 for some false advertising - imo I deserve a discount of 100% + Interest. Happy days ahead Luthier!

I should add; information should be free, or at least owned by those who payed for it. I'd expect that no game that has a disk should ever require an online activation - but rather one that is handled in store when you buy it - like any type of 'digital credit'.
