It does, but you can switch it off. Werthead Send a noteboard - 06/07/2010 11:58:19 PM
it seemed as if it hooked up online every time I opened Portal (the game I was playing).


There's an option in Steam called 'play in offline mode'. When you click that, it goes into offline mode and will not try to access the Internet during play. It also remembers to stay offline if you switch off the computer and come back to it later.
