Hi! Been playing OOTP baseball for 25 years but I'm actually more of a hockey fan these days. Wanted to give FHM a try this year.

I'm not much of a gamer, but every once in a while I'll download something on Steam. But to be honest, I wasn't really sure if there is a benefit or not, just liked that it was a marketplace.

I guess my question is, are there benefits or disadvantages of buying it on Steam? You can explain it to me like I'm 5, promise I won't get offended. Is it locked to a specific desktop?

Even if the purchase is through steam, is it still locally installed, or is it cloud based? Can I launch steam remotely (from a tablet) and play? I guess the answer to that is based on the first question.

Thanks again!
