It's the only legal way to play Empire Total War, Napoleon Total War , and Total War Shogun2. Sega made the decision, not me. Take it up with them.
This part is covered in this part of the Terms of Service you agreed to to post here.
Code:
Promoting Illegal Activities (1, 4, or 8 points)
Posts that promote violation of the law are not allowed. Violation of the law includes, but is not limited to:
Substantial use of copyrighted material without permission. Examples of acceptable uses would be brief quotes, fan art, signature/avatar images, brief video clips (e.g., YouTube), screenshots, or reasonably limited decorative images in a mod. Unacceptable uses would include entire songs, long videos, large collections of images, altered game executables, pirated operating systems, unmodified game files (except those released by the developers themselves, for example converted .bin files released by CA for M2TW) that are not essential parts of modifications or anything that competes with the work you're copying (i.e., people might just download your copy instead of buying the original). The exact threshold of substantial use will be decided on a case-by-case basis ― if in doubt, ask a Senior Moderator or Administrator.
Obtaining or providing ways to circumvent copy protection. This includes no-CD hacks, key generators, hacked ROMs, etc.
Cheating in online games, or otherwise violating license agreements.
Possessing, distributing, or using drugs in a way that would be illegal in most jurisdictions (e.g., owning marijuana).
"Promoting" illegal activity includes, but is not limited to:
Asking for someone else to commit an illegal activity (e.g., asking for a cracked game).
Assisting someone else in an illegal activity (e.g., linking to a site that distributes cracked games).
Encouraging or advocating an illegal activity, or portraying it as normal or acceptable (e.g., casually mentioning that you have pirated games/smoked pot/etc. as though this were normal and acceptable). Exceptions will be made for threads that are devoted to serious discussion of illegal activities in an abstract sense (e.g., about whether copyright law should be relaxed or marijuana should be legalized), on a case-by-case basis.
What exactly qualifies as illegal depends on jurisdiction. When jurisdictions differ on whether something is legal, moderators will decide on a case-by-case basis which jurisdiction to follow
Until you get a legal copy activated through Steam, this thread is closed.
