But the game would get much better sales overall without Steam. Maybe as much as 200,000 more people buying, but that's just a guesstimate on my part. Whether people can understand it or not, there are a lot of us Steam haters around. Get used to it, you can't wish it away.

Haha that is the most hilarious overestimate since The Church of Scientology last claimed their number of practitioners.
The game would be doing very well to manage to sell 200K copies worldwide, period. Some crazy little IL-2 forum is hardly an indicator for average gaming demographics. There are tens of millions of steam users. I absolutely guarantee that the game will sell more copies
during its first steam special (usually happens within a year of release) than the total number of people even
registered on whatever forums you are talking about.
