Yes, you need Steam to install Farming Simulator 2013 whether you download it from the Internet or from a disk. But you don't need Steam to play Farming Simulator 2013. Steam is the name of a website.

it is a catalog of PC, Mac, and Linux games, many of which support Steam Play so you can buy once and play anywhere, and Cross-Platform Multiplayer so you can play with all your friends, no matter where they log in

If I remember rightly it is a Steam code, pretty sure. So you need the Steam client and you put the code in there and then download the game throughout there. Assuming it's the PC version you are buying.

No. Only Skyrim will need steam. The others do not require anything to play.

you will need to download Steam first and create and account if you don't have one already. After you launch Steam you should be able to activate the game using the code you got from Amazon.com, once that's done Steam will start downloading the game and once is complete you should be able to play it...

Install Steam and activate the game within steam. Download the steam client here: store.steampowered.com

no you dont need it to play the game but you do need internet connection to download the game because it uses steam to download it

Im guessing yes, because it will be on your computer and not from a pc disk, i dont think it will require Steam. Worth a shot?

Yes but every time you turn it on it will first want to go to Steam, once its done that you can play as if your not on the internet!, and at no time will the game ask for Steam more then an ok that you have a legal copy!

I think you need steam to play it but you can always play offline if thats all you wanna play.

It connects to steam to install. It's a steam game, i.e., you cannot play with your family member or friends with one purchase. If you want multiplayer games, each person has to buy a separate copy, which stinks big time!!

As far as I know, Steam will control the game and requires registration through its website. It will take a long time to download the Steam version of the game (hours) and, for some reason, the Steam process adds an extra layer of performance hits on a game that already is a performance hog (ditto for Black Ops II and Ghosts), The disk will no longer be needed to run the game, even if you are offline with Steam. At least that's how my version of CoD Black Ops worked. Good luck.

Unfortunately, it requires being activated by steam during installation. Once installed, you do not have to have internet access (though it is recommended, as then you'll get the updates), but it will not work or install without talking to steam first.

You don't need a steam account to buy it but you do need an account to play it.

The version I purchased, did not. You can purchase it through steam, however I liked having the discs and if memory serves, it was less expensive from Amazon. I do have it listed in my steam library and can boot from steam that way.

This item is not a steam download. You will get a link to install and you install it independently as a stand alone game. You will have to look for the right folder to play the expansions as they are included in the download but are independent from the main game!!

You MUST have a Steam account. Both games only work through the MIDDLEMAN of Steam, meaning that they emphasize On-line Multiplayer.
