i don't think so, i think u just need a computer with windows that's compatible with the game, but honestly i have no idea it was my husbands game I've never played it.
I 'm sorry but I have no idea what your talking about... u might as well be speaking Chines as far as I'm concerned... lol... sorry but all the gaming stuff is just beyond me.
Steam is not a necessity in the gaming world. Steam is only required to play games bought from the steam store or developed by valve. this game is a disc so will run off the disc without any steam support. also it is playable offline. this is a great game used to have before disc was destroyed. BTW watching :)
