I wasn't entirely clear, I said MG so as not to confuse when really they are employed by 1C - not that it matters.
And I certainly can't imagine that the contract they did sign said something along the lines of;
"Any flight simulator or flight based video game produced by 1C company and it's subsidaries must be distrubted through Ubisoft."
I was thinking that the contract may be "IL-2 Sturmovik" specific - not the genre in general, therefore changing the title may have been appropriate - but clearly I'm wrong.
Then again, who gives a flying (...). I'll just download a free copy and save myself the hassle of complaining later on about wasting my money. Try before you buy right?

well, whilst you ar downloading you free hacked version and bitching about "Steam" (meaning DRM, the need for online verification/ activation, inability to play completely offline, etc)... keep in mind that there is no-one else to blame for "Steam" than the hackers and pirates.

Not sure what you mean. Steam doesn't stop Piracy and wasn't designed to.

Well if I didn't understand first time round then it doesn't make sense. I'll have no reason to rage about Steam with a pirated copy.

without hacked/ pirated softwares, there would be no need to have a "Steam" to rage about in the first place, eh

No, because like I said, it's a distribution system, not software protection. It's like saying the reason we have online shopping is because of theft...

Definitely not true in my opinion. Steam helps nothing to prevent copyright infringements. The only reason Steam DRM protections exists, is to prevent people from selling their used games.

Of course Steam does a lot more than DRM.
