Where can I buy this game besides Steam

from Stardock Forums

I would like to buy this game but not from Steam. Steam keeps shoving it in my face that they can take away my games whenever they want. I am heavily invested in my games and have a lot of them. But will no longer risk any investment in my Steam account. No I have not done anything to get banned.

 

So just a new personal rule. I know I am not alone on this.

You do know you can store your games in another hard drive as a backup? Steam games are stored on your drive so they can't "take" them away. The only thing they could do is prevent you re-downloading the game but you already have a copy right?

I know what they are doing is legally and morally ambiguous but most companies are adopting the same thing so there's not much we can do about it. I mean, if we had stopped Adobe from doing it years ago, it would have discouraged companies from doing this shady practice.

Just store your games in a separate harddrive and you're good.
