Especially when we see that the new Assassins Creed game is announced on Ubi's Steam catalogue 17th of March but not a word on Ubi's Steam about CoD:IL-2. I checked Steam just now and it has 3.000.000 gamers online as we speak. If Ubi could get their thumbs out of their behinds, they'd plaster CoD:IL-2 all over Steam. My guess is that Ubi's pi$$ed that Steam gives 70% back to the developer instead of publisher.

@ptisinge: I had never heard about IL-2 before I got Steam and look at me now. LOL

@Frankyboy: Have you tried installing Steam on a drive that actually has the space required? How many drives do you have and which one do you have Steam installed to? Default is C:. I have Steam installed on a separate drive.

I love steam.
I have 81 games on steam.
Yes it sucked when Half life 2 launched. But that is long ago.
Yes it sucked a bit when call of duty black ops launched, but what do you expect when 80.000 users try do download the game? (Yes the install cd with data on it did nothing. Mistake in the installer. So almost all of the 80.000 users downloaded the whole game tru steam instead of installing the game from the dvd and then downloading the decrypt stuff from steam.

By the way the installer problem was not a problem cause by steam.
Activision made the same mistake in the installer of call of duty modern warfare 2. So they used the exact same installer (code) for CoD Black ops.

I love Steam, it helps me remove stamps for my collection.

Steam has a offline mode.
And who cares this day and age?
My internet connection is always ON. So whenever one of my pc's is turned on its online.
All people i know also have that.

After reading this, it looks like the boxed version is little more than a single coin tossed at Oleg and team:

Why steam is bad? Someone make a list of its flaws, cos' atm it's like: it is bad cos' I know it is bad.
I see most ppl, who hate steam, have used it only once or haven't at all.

Sorry for pasting my response from another thread, but this forum is becoming so monothematic, that I probably could paste it into another 5 threads and it would fit perfectly.

My personal conclusion: You pay for nothing, have no rights on it and your datas can be used for whatever. You buy a limited, terminable, non exclusive license and right to use and Valve is responsible for nothing. In future you won't buy shoes, only the limited, terminable, non exclusive license and right to wear them.

WAKE UP !

P.S.: ....my last post on this.

Bolds things to change context. Gripes about standard EUA verbage. You do realize basically every game you play says nearly exactly that Verbatim. I also suspect that your agreement to this forum says something similar about communications through it.

At the end of the day,those who want CoD enough will buy it,regardless of what obstacles etc are put in the way.Some won't and thats a tragedy for Oleg with lost sales.
Unless we are hit with a serious bombshell in the next 2 weeks (like pay to play) then I will get it.
