Strictly speaking, using a VPN at all is against the SSA, but in practice Valve only cares if you're using one to aid in cross-region purchasing or the activation of region-locked gifts. Nobody has ever been banned or had their account restricted for using one solely to unlock a game early or activate a region-locked key.

Thanks for the steps and sorry for a dumb question but how do I switch to offline mode if my computer has internet connection?

Question to anniversary edition buyers. Do you keep it sealed for collecting and buy another one digital?
Ive done this to some Nintendo games (thank god) but never bought one for pc.

There's a Go Offline option under the Steam menu (in the top left corner of the Steam window).

The official channel just uploaded this. I'd slap it onto the OP as thread theme, cause it's great.

I know what I'm playing when I'm getting back from work! Yay!
This is excellent.

Still no reviews? Its worrying.
No review codes sent, so I don't think there will be early reviews.
Review copies weren't provided early enough. I'm not even sure that they've been released yet.
No review copies, and preview copies have expired from what Quill18 has said. Seems to be a running trend with 2K games in favour of getting streamers involved

Aha, I'm still on the fence whether to buy it or not. I love Civ 5 but the Beyond Earth was a big disappointment for me.
Whatever the reason, it's a lousy trend. Especially when pre-order extras are involved.
(At least the pre-order bonus will be released for free in a few months)

For those who missed it, they also uploaded a performance of Baba Yetu from that same live concert a couple days ago.

Cracked and preordered and preloaded despite having not finished a game of Civ 5 complete edition I bought cheap a while back. Was playing it more last night and just decided that if I'm going to put the time into learning the series/genre, might as well do it with the no one that will have more bells and whistles, quality of life improvements etc.
Looking forward to it, though I won't be able to dive in as much as I'd like as I'm busy with working and preparing to move houses over the next couple of weeks.

Streamers are easier to manipulate than journalists with an ethic code (though gaming journalism is quite a jungle)

I think we know enough about it to make an informed decision.
It's gonna get solidly good marks across the board.

On the other side i can actually see what they are doing in the game and if the game itself is rubbish, boring or st like that, they hardly can tell me its a fantastic experience.
So i prefer a one-hour-gamplayvideo where someone is showing the mechanics and graphics of the game, instead of hitting a scale of x/100 to get others interested or not. User reviews added and its a good estimate.
Of course there are good reviews i easily can trust, like the most ones from rps for example.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Yep, the game looks great from everything Ive seen so far, and Ive watched a LOT of gameplay footage. My only actual concern at this point is the state of the AI. I mean it seems to do an okay job but I have noticed some cracks in it, and that AI battle royal they showed us yesterday kinda confirmed some of my concerns. On the flip side though, the footage was all pre-release code, and even the battle royal was done on a two week old build of the game and did not include final tweaks, so the AI at release just might be better than weve seen so far.
It's far from a deal breaker for me though as Im an average skill player at best who usually plays at Prince or a skill level above Prince, so killer super deadly AI isnt really something I need, lol. And if there are AI issues then theyll have that patched up quickly anyway, both Civ 4 and 5 had similar AI issues at the outset and they were fixed up as well. The core of the game and the mechanics look to be fantastic, and Im anxious to get my hands on it and to start learning the new features. If they do need to bolster the AI then hopefully Im ready by that time to take it on!

I bought from mmoga.de 43.99€. Received my key this morning.
edit: 25th anniversary key DLC included.
I guess you have to deactivate Two Factor Authentication before, right?
Awesome, got it preloading now.
Take it the Australian vpn trick won't work on this since it says it will only activate in Europe, Africa and middle East?
Any word on when the mac version could possibly drop by? Can't wait to play this game!
I'm actually quite fortunate that this is dropping later on the Mac since I am swarmed with deadlines the next few weeks until the holidays. I'm sure if we got the Mac version tomorrow too I would be unemployed from failing to meet those deadlines lol.

No, signing out of the Steam app doesn't screw up 2FA. Just make sure you don't actually delete the app.
Can't wait for this. I'm currently on holiday and seeing monuments and ruins has just made the wait for the game that much harder.
I love the sound of everything I've read and seen over the past couple of months. The strongest aspect of the geography on choices is particularly pleasing to me.

Pre-loading right now. I can't wait for the game to unlock.
Yeah it must be decrypting. Says updating but there's no network activity.
