Like so many other Kodexers, I'm very reluctant to buy games through Steam, especially since I won't really be buying them. So whenever I can, I buy retail versions of games that do not require Steam to run. I'm willing to wait a year or two to play the game, doesn't bother me.
One company that actually does this is Telltale Games, they has released retail versions of the Sam & Max games and now also for Tales of Monkey Island. The problem is, I have no idea if the recent retail packages are secretly forcing me to use Steam or not. I have Season 1 and 2, and they do not require Steam. But now retail versions are out for Season 3 and Tales of Monkey Island, and I am seriously considering buying them, but I cannot reliably tell if they need Steam to run or not. The packaging for ToMI doesn't mention it, but that's all I have to go on.
So can anyone here enlighten me on this?
