Great game but Windows Live spoils the fun

The game itself is great, but unfortunately this version is sold with Windows Live copy. Apart from the fact that not clear to me is why it is necessary for a budget title I have to say that if I have I can save only after registration at least, as with Steam will not insert more DVD. That's on Steam has long walk and add only Microsoft says simply times to copy the principle to incorporate more annoyances (Steam NEN offline mode) and all the benefits of the system to be deleted. One can only hope that this vulnerability Maten eventually learn from them ...
