Steam is a legitimate Games Store owned by software publisher Valve - so is safe to use and purchase/download/play games from there. Official website is www.steampowered.com - incase any strange web results returns any other sites. Hi There, I have been playing This game on my mac using Bootcamp and am about half way through, after installing the game on the Mac partition today I find that my game ssaves are not synced to the Steam cloud.

Yes, SavagesStalker, if Steam's Servers decide to crash randomly then you cannot access your games, which should mean to access Single-player you must access via Steam to start. (Just like any other game from steam where it opens steam and shows you ' Is Loading.' ) But it is safe by the means of someone hacking you.

Personally, I prefer Direct2Drive since it's just a lot easier, you don't need a program running at all times to play, all you need to do is Download, Install, Activate and Play; forever until you uninstall. Is it safe to buy off of steam? Can you play singleplayer games when you are not connected to the Internet. (if you bought it off of steam?) Yes it's safe, and yes you can play SP games if you switch steam to offline mode. What if Steam just stops doing what it does? Does that mean you can't play your games that you bought from them? Like if they go down permanently???

Are you just @!%$ out of luck? I can assure you that won't happen.

Valve is a pretty big company. Thanks, SavagesStalker. [QUOTE='SavagesStalker'] Is it safe to buy off of steam? Can you play singleplayer games when you are not connected to the Internet.

Noswear Yea, and if they do shut down.then Valve will probably refund your money or something like that. [QUOTE='noswear'][QUOTE='SavagesStalker'] Is it safe to buy off of steam? Can you play singleplayer games when you are not connected to the Internet.

Nevereathim Yea, and if they do shut down.then Valve will probably refund your money or something like that I wouldn't think so. That's a lot of money.

I'm pretty sure you have to be connected to the internet to run any steam game. I think they disabled offline mode for most games. [QUOTE='nevereathim'][QUOTE='noswear'][QUOTE='SavagesStalker'] Is it safe to buy off of steam?

Add a target line to excel chart. Only XY series can have horizontal error bars, which we’ll use for the horizontal target lines. The added series has to be converted to an XY chart type.

I'm pretty sure you have to be connected to the internet to run any steam game. I think they disabled offline mode for most games. No they didn't.have you used Steam? You can use offline mode for any game basically except for multiplayer games lol. To add a few things.

Basically if you are playing a non-valve game. Once the game is up and running the game can run pretty much independant of steam You can also use offline mode. Provided you were online when you decided to put steam in offline mode.

As for security. Paypal and credit card are very safe and I had no problems using both. The big thing here is DONT GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE NOT EVEN VALVE. Only use it to log into steam. And don't click on links from people you don't know.

They could have trojans/loggers on them. And don't worry about steam/valve going under. Even if they DO (VERY BIG IF). I think they already have a plan to make sure you can still D/L play the games you rightfully own.
