							I wish I could filter out all of those damn train simulation titles from the top ten new releases, coming soon etc. lists.  Same with magic the gathering expansion crap too.

							Hi Sinij, Your question has been received. You should expect a response from us  within 72 hours.Kind Regards, Customer Support Take 2 Interactive For Civilization V issues, we encourage you to view our dedicated support page at:  http://www.2kgames.com/civ5/support/ which also has a link to our knowledge database of solutions. Additionally, we are active in the dedicated support forums at:  http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=86. Thanks for your patience. Month later: Dear Sinij,
  Steam will install first, and the game will install from the disk through Steam. Once this is done, you can place Steam in offline mode if you do not want to be connected to the internet.
  Kind regards, Jamie
  Technical Support  I guess their approach is better late than never.

							Yes, I returned the game and eventually got my money back. Had to get CC involved to get my money back. 
  Moral of the story - don't buy anything involved with Steam if you actually want an ability to return for refund.

  Moral of the story, do 5 minutes of research before you buy something.
