Civ 5 - Steam or Retail DVD?

xool

Civ 5 finally came out for Mac, problem is do I want the Steam or retail DVD copy?



I don't mind the digital download too much, but what I want is the least onerous copy protection. I've also read online that the DVD copy still uses Steam for activation, but can't be certain.



Anyone familiar with the difference between two versions?

No matter how you buy Civ 5, it requires steam in order to run. The only difference is in how you get the software onto your harddrive. All versions use steamworks for DRM.
