Utterly ridiculous for a singleplayer game. These aren’t even listed on the Steam store page. For some reason I thought id was better than this.
It’s blocked from firewall so I don’t think it’ll successfully call back home (unless they did some Steam networking trickery I guess). I just hate this bs on principle.
They are still making one of the most exceptional games at the market. Not independent - yes. But if it’s the price to actually deliver games this quality - sign me up.
So… To the OP - agree the agreement and just play. It didn’t make the game worse.
