@Nikkei_Simmer There is another option:
5) Rebuy the whole thing on Steam for $5 a pack (and a bundle or two for $7.50) during the next good sale (apparently not this one), launch the game exactly once through Steam, then go digging through the program files until you find the TS3w.exe shortcut and never involve another app in your gaming experience ever again.
On the other hand, when have you ever missed a chance to blow something up? Although perhaps we as a community should be worried that your pyromania has broken through the boundaries of the game and is metastasizing into the rest of your digital life. What's next? I'm not sure I want to know.
