i want to retreat from steam

Hi there i finally got my game to work but i've just learnt to my disgust (as there is no warning whatsoever) that infact registering my game with steam means that i cannot start the game unless i have an internet connection with which to start steam and that i must stay connected to steam so if i go on a long car journey (when at times, which i know will be often, i will have no connection) i can't even start the game at home and continue, is there anyway that i can unregister my game from steam (which should surely be my choice)

But hold on i have another question if i was to be allowed to unregister the game will the other option of activating (through the phone or the other one) allow me to start up the game without an active internet connection?

(great game though guys just ruined by this)

thanks

You can run the game without starting steam (and hence without having a net connection). Just run c:/program files/valve/steam/steamapps/common/football manager 2009/fm.exe. Or create a shortcut to it on your desktop.

supposedly steam has an offline mode, i cant see it though!
