QuoteWhat do you mean by a simple way of doing it off the disk?
Pretty self explanatory I would've thought.
When I put the HL2 Orange Box disk in it autoruns to the install pages and you tick what you want to install (HL2, Ep1, Ep2, Portal, Team Fortress 2). Which i did.
Instead it installed Steam, forced me to create an account, then proceeded to download the games off the web instead installing them off the disks. Pretty moronic really. Crysis 2 did the same thing but used Origin instead of Steam.
When I installed Arkham Asylum a while back it similarly forced me to create a Windows Games account, but at least it installed the game off the disk.
I foresee I'll probably buy more games via download in future, but if I see a game cheap on disk, it'd be nice to able to simply go home, install it and then play it, without it downloading.
