Yay!

Well, I won't be playing the game often (if at all). And I do not think anyone at UBI will read this.

IMHO, it will be fantastic if it would be possible to join as a gunner (or maybe flak operator), but not as a pilot, on the computer that was not activated.

Same applies to the tanks/ships/etc - gunners should be recruit-able among non-technical guys for free./

Though FPS shooter authors will sue Oleg for dumping, I afraid

------------
And I hope that in some point in future DRM will be dropped. As it was in Il-2 itself.

That's good news on the one time activation

I like Steam.

I buy games, install them in any computer I use, and play. With working auto-updates enable, save time.

It's a fully working sell platform. It's made by Valve, I like Valve. I will buy Cliffs Of Dover over Steam, will fly into the game untill my arms get sore and have a lot of fun without even think about corporative evil plans.

The life is short. IL-2 is about the fun part of it.

If the DRM stops anyone from buying this masterpiece from Oleg/Maddox Games then they can **** off in my eyes, I couldnt care less about people whining about DRM.

These days developers >> CAN << indeed assume that the majoirty of their users will have acccess to a stable broadband connection, and if you dont then well sorry, sh*t happens.

Thanks for such a mature and balanced contribution to this topic

Funny how Oleg says the opposite.

Good then, that Olegs words aren't law I respect Oleg as a game developer but I don't always agree with his opinions. Isn't that nice though, being able to vent your own opinions here without being judged by others?

The snobism of some people here never ceases to amaze me. And it does induce the urge to puke ...

Oleg knows that many in Eastern Europe either cannot afford or do not live near high-speed connections (similar to Canada). He also has state that it is the distributor (not the developer) that attaches the DRM.

Let me guess - You're from a reasonably large urban center, in a developed country and you're solidly middle-class with a comfortable economic life. It is a stretch - but I can guess that you're an American (as you guys seem to fear, rather than look out for, your neighbors).

Is any of this correct? How far off am I?
