Say goodbye to my money.

Why? Because Steam is DRM like any other, and it requires online connection too. Also, it locks the game to a single owner, making selling the game impossible (not that I would've sold Civ V anyway).

If youwere going to resell the game, just go ahead and puirate it. It doesn't matter to the devs since theydon't see money either way.

Uhm... The initial sale will still go to the devs. If you're telling him to pirate it anyway, then the dev doesn't see money either way...

And the devs get the money from the people who create the pirated version in the first place, so in both cases they see one sale, and not the other.
