Purchased GAS from a store. Read the cover "requires internet for activation". This statement is missleading and false. The World is not America, UK, Australia or other first world country. The bulk of the worlds population live in developing nations where internet access in slow and extreamly expensive. When installing GAS from setup executable on the disk it connects to the internet and Steam installs first before automatically automatically updates itself....goodbye 100 dollars in internet cost (if you cancel the update the install cancels as well). It then starts downloading over 8GB of GAS, I ran out of internet credits at 300.00 dollars (60% downloaded) After a nasty email to CM they give me a switch to install the game from the Disk I purchased. Again this was missleading and false. The syntax to install from Disk only intsalls 70% of the game the other 30% autonmatically starts downloading from the internet via steam taking my remaining available internet credits of 120.00 Dollars and still did not complete. Cost Thus far of GAS 70:00 AUD Purchase of Disk and case from bricks and mortar store. 520.00 PGK Steams auto update, failed Steam download Result : no playable game without expending more internet cost to download the remainder of a game that was legitimately purchased with an activation code If you live in a location with limited and expensive email do not purchase GAS. Their claims of "internet connection required for activation" are missleading and false.
