I don't have to have a reason or give a reason. I simply want the game on a disc, play it on Hyperlobby, have a backup on my computer, use an IP address, add what Patches my squad wants to use
and in general use my paid for property as I see fit.
I have no reason to help Steam gather whatever, I don't care if Steam exists or not
gadnab it, I simply want to enjoy it and use it as I use 4.09+UP2.01+modded maps of my choice.
I have paid for and own every piece of IL2 that Oleg has produced and would have been happy to pay twice the price.
Hell our computers that we continually upgrade have cost $thousands,
Bugga Steam!

Nope you don't have to have a reason. I think the only objection the Steam "defenders" had was the misinformation that many were using to excuse themselves from it's use.
We all have to ask ourselves what principles we stand on, and what our limit of exception is, and I will fault no one for that, but when someone makes up "facts" to back their decision I take exception. So long Ibis I am sure you will be missed in CoD.

S!
