oh noooo
it's spreading!
get into the emergency bunkers!

or even better: don't buy that abortion of a civ game in the first place
if you want a casual civ, get revolutions, else stick to civ 4 and wait till someone releases a "+15 fun" mod, seriously.

I'm confused. It's availability on Steam is uncertain, but it requires a Steam connection for activation?

Or is it more referring to "If I bought it on Windows, do I get it for Mac too"?
