I wouldn't worry too much about Steam itself. Steam is a digital distributor/game community, nothing else. It has all the Steam benefits, like updating, patching and unlimited downloads etc. but it doesn't grip you by the balls like 777 does with Rise of Flight.
My Steam versioned IL-2 is just like IL-2 hardcopy and the only real difference is that I need to find my game folder in the Steam folder. That's it. Doesn't matter to me if CoD:IL-2 needs a one time activation through Steam/SolidShield or from the game itself.
