IL-2 going Steam-powered

[LEXX]

How does The Steam bring new people to the sim?

I heard The Steam requires internet connection every time you play. Is this one of the things that can be configured? This could be Oleg making the wrong move, perhaps unintentionally, by taking another step toward abandoning his Offline customer base.

Now if The Steam offered Online Pay-To-Play, that would be a WHOPPING different story for Oleg's business.
