Exactly! And the Russian version will probably ship with less DRM than the rest of the world.
Note in the interview,Oleg did not answer any questions on DRM.

How about you download the game as they wish BUT with it you also get a chance to buy the boxed edition at a reduced price if you have the receipt for downloaded version.

My gaming machine is offline.

It was over 12 months before I purchased IL2_1946 because I waited till it appeared in a shop.

I never bought RoF at all because of the online DRM.

I have FSX installed but never play it because it insists on re-activating and I am not online and phoning is too much bother.

I will purchase SoW if and when it appears in a local store providing it does not have an online DRM.

Online DRM requirement for ROF is no longer required, so worth checking out now if that was your only objection. I'm quite new to it but am loving it.

Then say good bye to all good titles upcoming in future. We won't see any games without DRM any more. No matter if it was a boxed version or a online purchased one.

I don't understand what people have against online DRM? (expect for those unlucky enough to not be able to get online at all).

S!

DRM is the ultimate way to infuriate the legit user of a software. I had 20fps lower FPS in IL-2 after stock 4.10m because of the damned DRM. So set in a "fixed" il2fb.exe and no more problems + the DVD can be safely in the box on the shelf. I do not support software piracy but there is possibly no software encryption out there that has not been cracked or circumvented and how much has this cost to the industry, just to try stop this from happening?

I will buy SoW when it comes in a box but please let me have it so that I do not need to keep the DVD in drive every time I play!

So you don´t? Do you know the differance between buying and leasing?
When you buy something, no one tells you when you may or may not use your bought artical, leased is then a differant cup of tea as it is not really yours.
But when I buy something and give good money for a product I wish to choose when I use something or not. As you as a customer can not go to a store, and say well I will give you the money for now but I might object to you using it later on.
Sorry I do not rent software I buy it.
