First off, let me say this is not a Steam Hate/Steam Love thread. I'm actually rather indifferent to the whole issue of Steam requirements.
But one thing that popped into my head recently.
When it was announced that Steam was mandatory for ciV, some posters who appeared to be defending the position stated that a major benefit was the existing multiplayer platrform that Firaxis would not have to develop.
Based on numerous observations in this forum, the multiplayer experience appears to be one of the most disappointing aspects of the game.
(Please note I have NOT player multiplayer yet, this is just based on others comments)
Can anyone clarify how much involvement Steam had in the multiplayer component of ciV?
Please note these are based on my impressions and observations only
I'm curious to hear other peoples thoughts on the matter
