So here I am, big battletech fan who's been using the same computer for 19 years, and only recently got the internet 'cause the wife was getting lonely what with all that corona stuff. So we got the net...then I coudn't help but check on the progress of that new battletech game I knew they were developping, and to my surprise I discovered it was already out with a [Mod edit: language] load of dlcs...whatever that is. Evidently I need it, after all, playing mechcommander for 20+years gets tedious. Now the problem is I don't know how this all works so please help with my questions, and sorry if this thread is not in the right sub-forum.
1: now I don't have a computer able to run the game, I'll take care of that once we can go out shopping again, so...seeing as how there's a huge sale on the battletech game now, can I buy it NOW and download it LATER( since I guess there are no hard copys nowdays)?
2: I've tried to understand a bit how games work in the 21st century and I've come across the concept of drm....from what I understand that means once you download the game on a computer you're stuck with playing the game on THAT computer WHILE ALSO connected to the internet...this would be a problem for me as I would rather non connecting to the net except to download the game...is it possible to play offline and download the game on a another computer someday if I need to upgrade my machine for «hearts of Iron:succession wars», or something?
sorry if its all a bit cloudy, haven't written in english for years, thank you in advance
