ok so i have had a steam account for years. since it started i guess way back when. but have not used it for years as gave up CS and TF a long time ago.
recently i decided to buy Shogun2 Total War. I've always loved the majority of CAs Total War series and the price for this update of their much loved original game was hard to pass up....
BUT it insisted on installing/running Steam. so after some hassle and errors i finally got steam updated and running.
So all's good i think - lets get the game installed and have a play.....
Oh no says Steam......you may have purchased the game and have 2 cd/dvd in your possession BUT we are going to insist you download nearly 20 gig and install the game via us down a cr4p under 2mb internet connection.....its still running and has taken well over 24hrs solid downloading so far....
WTF says I, is this rubbish and why do i need to download a game i have bought???
Answers on a postage stamp, before they go up in price, please !!
