WTF??? Are you for real?
Only 1 person can be playing at any time, so how you manage to play 3 at the same time on the same computer???
Also, the game is sold by computer/console, not by amount of computers/consoles you have within your house, so every copy is meant for 1 computer/console, not 3 at the same time.
So, using Steam or if you bought it on a store, you can install it on 1 computer and play it from there, not on multiple computers so many people can play it. You can't "share" your copy of the game.
If 3 people have a computer each, then you have to buy 3 copies of the game if all of you play the game at the same time on the 3 computers. It's not clear to me if you are allowed to install the game over more than 1 computer that only you use.
So, Steam is the best way because you can have the game installed on any computer you own and use just accessing your Steam account.
