This is quite possible and there are many methods, from playing offline to finding and installing a Civilization 5 “no Steam” patch. As a result many have been looking to find a way of playing the game without using Steam. However the requirement for Steam to be added to computers as part of the Civilization V installation game as a big surprise to a lot of users when the game was released in 2010. This works to varying degrees, but in the case of some games (such as Half Life 2) it can result in problems for the consumer if the server managing activation is under too much pressure.
While there are plenty of arguments against this tactic (the number of pirated games hardly seems to have decreased) this hasn’t stopped major publishers from forcing buyers of their games to use online game activation. DRM – Digital Rights Management – is a feature of more and more games for Windows as publishers take heavy handed steps to prevent their titles from being pirated.
