Will Skyrim need Steam?

tpex said:
Geez! seems people are either stuck in 2004 or they have not used steam before, I have had nothing but joy from steam, always up to date patches, and none intrusive (unlike almost all other DRMs I may add) people need to get with the times. steam is the best Game delivery system (and DRM) around.

Don't get me wrong Tpex, but I thought you hated steam.

Dude, don't be so quick to shout that it's all good just because you have no issues. Lomek had almost daily issues with Steam while here ... ranging from constant updates not going all the way to his games trying to redownload every other day, etc etc. People have shit with apps, way of the world .... for the people with no issues to keep saying "I'm ok Jack so you must be a drama queen" is dumb. People had issues with Origin when I had not one, didn't make me berate them for having issues.

Fair Argument :)

I may have, I honestly don't recall a time I did though.
 
haha Big uproar apparently on the update forcing none steam versions of Skyrim to now need steam.

You are misinformed. There are no non-Steam versions of Skyrim. What was happening is that you could run Skyrim WITHOUT Steam, hence avoiding Steam's exe verification. With the latest patch it is no longer possible to modify the exe directly and still have a valid Steam install.

This was the case with Fallout New Vegas but you could still use the work around to run it with the Large Address Aware executable. So there is already a new LAA enabler for Skyrim that uses this same workaround, so not exactly sure what this 'big uproar' was for.

Non-Steam versions as in pirated?

Also, it's out? How big is it. Thought it was only coming next week.

No, Warez groups release their own patches.
