Must it be continually connected to the internet, or just once at start-up to run "steam"? PLEASE REPLY! Thanks.

We no longer have any internet/cable other than our cell phones. All of it is connected through the Xbox360 just like a VCR or CD player. They just put on the disc and it plays . Internet is only if its multi-player if you want to play people you don't know. Lego Marvel Superheroes is also disc only. The Xbox-One...you must have internet because most of their games are online. We purchased Xbox 360 for about $30.00 on Craigslist and purchased older TV's 40 inch from thrift stores for about $10.00. Both work fine:-)

You will need a Steam account to play it. In order to play, you need to put the CD inside to install the game into the computer that way you don't have to keep putting the CD in the computer to play it.

It handles many Steam games without issue (New Vegas, Portal 2, L4D2). I'm currently running Skyrim with mods at high setting (not highest, mind). Vanilla Minecraft runs really well, although I had unresolved operating issues with the Feed the Beast modpack.

It does support the steam app.... Only games that don't check for Internet connection can be played offline.... Emulators and stuff like that can be played offline.... Same with the streaming from computer as long as your computer is connected to your router

I've played through Steam with friends, and works like a charm. Latency can be an issue if whoever hosts has a bad internet connection, but otherwise it's fine.

Install Steam and activate the game within steam. Download the steam client here: store.steampowered.com

I just plugged it in and it worked without having to install any extra software. My laptop read it, recognized it, installed the druvers, and away I went, playing Recettear on Steam, with no issues.

Works perfectly fine for me, through steam no less. Only run into problems when I mod it to oblivion but that's to be expected and is my own fault.

Yep! Steam supports linux and works great. So far as system req, if you can run steam games you can run linux. Its much leaner than windows. But download the latest version from linuxmint dot com, and make a donation directly to linuxmint foundation. Dont buy this cd sold on amazon here.

Steam is dumbed down for non-advanced users. You have the whole thing on your own system to tweek, etc. with this program.

That's exactly what I'm running and it's going great for me. Streaming via Steam onto a Chromebook running crouton-based Ubuntu with no problems at all. I think you'll be happy :)

Persistent enough to A) download a new version of Steam which is mandatory before game installation - 1 hour or so, B) persistent enough to last through the 2.5 hour game install, and C) persistent enough to download a mandatory 10 gig update before you may begin the game. And by the way, the update is only downloading in 10 meg segments then erroring out and making you manually retry. Other than that, no, no internet needed at all.

It should definitely take less time than that. Does steam release when you press the trigger? Please contact Pyle Technical support support@pyleaudio.com if you are unable to get the unit to work for you.

When I installed the game, I had to log into my steam acct and validate. It also had to download updates. After install, you can choose to play offline.

It won't play on my machine unless I do have steam, annoying but necessary!

I never tried it. Let me check this evening if I have time and I will let you know. Once you install it on Windows I believe Steam will allow the content to be accessed from any where you log on.

some how the game is tied to steam so you need to load steam to play it. Sometimes I use steam off line and still play the game. you just will not be able to play with other people on the net if played off line
