Hey guys . i Searched a lot about Steam vs Retail and i quite don't get how both really work these days and i'm moving to US and i really need to pick one .
1.is it true that you cant install mods or ENB on STEAM games ?
2.Is it true that i should insert my disk of retail game to play it each time ? or there's an online activation and i can put my disk away after activation and not having to use it on each play .
3.Are Steam Downloaded games physically accessible on your hard drive ? for example a retail game can be found where you have installed it . you can copy or cut it or interact with the game folder and files in general . is the same thing possible with Steam games ?
4.Assume you have no internet connection . can you still run your games on steam ? or you have to login each time you turn on your computer ?
5.Say i cant Afford more than one copy of a specific Video Game . does that mean my brother has to buy the same copy again ? Assume we both want GTA V on our computers and we both wanna be able to play online together . are we screwed and we each have to pay 60$ ? i guess steam wont help because their family sharing thing does not mention anything about being able to play online at the same time .
6.How can i update a Retail version of a game ?
7.Any list that says which games can be installed on more than one computers and be played offline/Online at the same time ?
any help would be appreciated . thanks a lot people
