SethAten 10 Posted June 8, 2013 So, I am planning to purchase ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead, since I expect the prices to plummet with the release of ARMA 3. I have created this thread to ask the opinion of the community as to which platform I should purchase on...Steam or BI? This is not a question of developer support, I may purchase via the BI store either way, but rather, for technical reason or distribution ease, which would be better? Does Steam create any drawbacks as far as mods? Will BI stop distributing the installer after 3 is going strong? etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted June 8, 2013 I have no reason to believe that BI would stop distributing the non-Steam installer at any point in the foreseeable future, and as long as they offer the Steam version for sale then it should be usable, since if it works like buying Arma 3 from their site you'd get a Steam product key to enter into the Steam client.

SethAten 10 Posted June 8, 2013 So no real troubles with Steam and mods? I'll probably buy Steam key then, since I already use Steam for several other games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockdpm 10 Posted June 8, 2013 I'd say buy through steam since they will auto update it for you and modding is easy with steam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
