upset about Steam?

[Extreme_One]

This is the first time I have ever seen a gaming communtity clamouring to ask that Steam support is removed!

Usually, in other communities, the uproar is created when Steam support isn't included and there is a lot of noise asking why not and trying to get Steam support added.

Weird.

Ditto. BTW, for the original poster, there's a vote thread on Steam somewhere on the forum, the results are pretty telling.

1c have steam and I have my money. They seem happy with that situation and I'm happy to go along with it. May be the future flight simming....

First of all, copy protection is not Steam but Solidshield which as far as i know hasn't been bypassed yet.

Second, nobody has a problem with it being available on Steam. It's being mandatory that some of us object to. I'd be perfectly fine if it had both a steam and a non-steam version so that everyone could choose what they prefer.

Third, i guess your forum account will not last long when you are clearly stating your intention to illegally download it right in the developer's forum

This could be because:
Hardcore Il2 players are not really gamers? (or how I would define a gamer)
They play only one game (or a few other flightsims) and no other games like fps and rts and rpg games.
So they dont know steam and only heared of the "negative" things about it.

I am a tru multigamer: Play all genres , like to see/experience as mutch difrent games i can etc.
I love steam. I think its verry good for pc gaming.

Flight sim fans are mostly paranoid conservatives. Frightened of change but always crying for more. They will usually bite the hand that feeds them, then say I told you so when the hand is withdrawn. I've often mused that if I didn't like aircraft so much, I'd normally go far out of my way to avoid such people.
