Mad,
I just checked Amazon and, unless I'm mistaken, they're selling the game on a DVD, not a download, from the United Kingdom - for less than Steam.
I already placed my order.

Robert I just took a look at that page and it would appear that it is going to require a Steam connection - above the box, it says "Steam powered." It looks like you will still have to go through Steam in order to activate the game.

You're right, I missed that.
Oh well, let's just hope for the best; I still want to get the game.
We'll see what happens.

Thanks, Ana, it looks terrific.  I'm going to hold off on purchasing for now, as it's an expensive Steam game, and in addition, I think my graphics card may complain.  Wishlisted for now. I definitely plan on getting it at some point.

I have no plans to do so yet. I might later on.
I'm sure the web or steam will be filled with hints and solutions.
Have fun and enjoy the game. Oh you are MaGtRo! I didn't know that!  I bow down to thee in awe, your walkthroughs are thee BEST that is out there!  Maybe you will have one out by the time I play this game, I think it's a little too demanding for my computer right now.

Robert Oh, I always try and check to see if a "Non-Steam" release is available, Robert, so saw the offer at Amazon. But I did notice the "Steam" requirement

I love Sherlock Holmes, but this game is way too expensive for a Steam download. I think I'll wait awhile to see what happens. Maybe it will become available at GOG one day for a lot less money, who knows?

You have to watch out for modern so-called DVD versions.
Sometimes all you get is a totally empty DVD with a Steam code. Heck !! I've not heard of that before !! How ridiculous

After communicating with a couple of people and doing research on Steam I
decided to cancel my order for the Sherlock Holmes game. Luckily I canceled
in time and wont be charged for it.
I had ordered the game on Amazon and had to send an email to the sender, so it
wasn't a typical cancellation.
I was wondering why games like this one are being released as "Steam Powered"
and not the typical way games were released - even though I could make a guess
and think it might be related to cost and profit margin.
I'm not even sure how the Steam system works but the one common thread I've seen,
more than once, is that quite a few people are not very happy with support.
I've been away from most adventure games lately - mostly using Big Fish - but I
really want to get back to these type of games but hesitate if the games are going
to be released through the "steam" process.
I guess I long for the old days of walking into a brick and mortar store and seeing
row after row of adventure games, ala Myst, etc.
I just hope the new Syberia game will not be released using Steam.

I just hope the new Syberia game will not be released using Steam. It will certainly be released on Steam. What we don't know yet is whether the PC version will be released some other way. The PC version may be a Steam exclusive for a few months -- or years. It's only recently that Sherlock Holmes Testament became available at GOG, and Testament was first released on Steam 4 years ago (2012).

So, I guess if I want to buy the Sherlock Holmes game in the near future
I have no choice but to use the Steam path.
Where can I find the PC requirements for this game?
Thanks,
Robert
