Can someone tell me what Steam actually does to activate a game?
I know there are pros and cons to using the Steam service, but please assume I do not want to use Steam.
I have a few games which require Steam to activate - I bought these by mistake having not noticed the Steam requirement. My game machine(s) will not be connected to the internet so the games are useless unless I find a work-around. So I was thinking...
Assume I install a game requiring Steam activation onto a internet free game machine. I then copy the software over to another machine which is connected to the internet. Can I activate the game via Steam on that machine and if so, are there simply files I need to copy back to the game machine in order to activate it? Or is more complicated than that?
Thanks...Joe
