Thanks guys.
I am a huge Steam advocate (I think my Steam catalog is about 140 games). It's just that I was a lil surprised when I bought Civ5 and I was required to use Steam. I like physical media (I am an information hog and I love reading manuals on train rides, ect).
Because my internet connection can be spotty sometimes, it is a pain to want to play a game and have to wait an hour for service to be reestablished; I used to take Steam offline while I was connected, just in case, but it became a pain. I may have to go back to that routine, but it is kinda aggravating. It would be nice to just pop in the disc and play when I want.
