SEV on Steam?

I beleive you do not have to be connected, as long as you do not sign out... I am not 100% sure on this, but I used to use it on my laptop, and apart from when I was at home, I had no connection, and I did play it away from here

Yeah you don't need a constant internet connection, as long as you do not log out you can use it offline

Just watched the video good job
You can turn the pop ups about the games off in file>settings>messages>upcoming and new releases

glad you like it!

i am lucky to have a fast internet connection and a good computer... well that is a lab one, my main computer is even better , that is just showing why I think steam is good, and SEv would be lucky to be on it.

as I said before, and I want to re say this, installing HL2 on a new machine, was hell, copying and converting a previous hl game to steam is hell... this is where you get horror storys, but once your game is on there, it is brilliant, and so simple to use!

as you can see from the video, when I said earlier that you can be in the game in less than 10 mins, I was not lying! with all the writing as well, I downloaded and installed steam, went ingame, went to training level, and moved around quickly, quit game, all in under 6 or 7 mins... I cant remember now, but anyway... video says it all, and from how they are promoting darwina, SEv can only hope to get the same treatment if it is realeased on steam!

why did i have to install steam, now I want to play cs or day of defeat a few times.... got to resist!

After thinking about it some more, I'd rather not have to use steam (or similar delivery system) either. The advantages do not outweight the disadvantages for me. But I can understand why some people would find it useful. Also, if it could be used by game developers to get freedom from big publishers, that sounds cool in theory.
