You cannot save your games on the steam cloud while offline (useful for continuing games at different locations).This may be un-palatable for your tastes but at least it is a 'neutered' version of Steam which does not connect to the internet or use up your system resources. You will however still need to run the Steam client in the background as Civ5 plays. The four points above cover many reasons people dislike Steam. You can disable steam from running on startup.You can disable steam collecting anonymous information about your system/software.You can play Civ5 SinglePlayer/LAN offline without connecting to the steam server. You can disable all push pop-up advertising in steam.However, since Steam is un-avoidable I find it more productive to offer advice to mitigate the effect steam has on your enjoyment and on your system, for in fact many gripes people have with steam are optional and can be disabled. People have legitimate gripes about steam, and these questions come up regularly especially on 2K's official Civilization5 forum ( 2K Civ5 Forum) As said by Brian Schkerke you cannot legally play Civilization5 without steam.
