I bought it, but before I open the box I want to know if it's been officially stated anywhere on Bethesda/Steam that I can install and play this game on as many systems as I wish. I am not buying a new $50 license every single time my PC needs to be reformatted (and it does currently, my windows is borked). Or if 5 years from now I freaking wanna install it on a new computer I might buy. Because...I am not happy with this DRM crap, I'll put it plainly...and this is the exact limit of my patience. (If Beth goes further with any more games, requiring more stringent...I will not buy their software.) Not to be snotty, but if I buy friggen Family Guy on DVD I can watch it up here in my room or downstairs in my livingroom...I demand the same of my PC games. I will accept no less.

Steam locks your key to an account, not to a machine. You can install the game on as many machines as you want and even play at the same time if you set Steam on all of them to offline mode.

Thank you! I appreciate knowing that! I hope this is the limit Beth goes. I'm still not thrilled...what will we do when WW3 breaks out and there is no Internet anymore?

You'll be too busy obeying your overseer to care about Steam then. ^_^
