I'm sure you and the rest of the crack-pirates will send your money straight to 1c maddox office....... riight.

And why not? $50 pales in Comparison to the amount of money Ive bought buying all the IL2 iterations, and then the replacements because they inevitably get lost over the course of a decade of duty station moves and deployments, etc.
Ive got no problem paying for it. Hell Id pay more for a non-steamer version happily.
Im not even going off on the freedom viewpoint, thats neither here nor there, I simply do not want to run steam after my horribble experiences with it.
And I wont.

Dont care about online gaming. Looks like most of us who don't want steam are offliners

Look, steam has many more pro's than con's,

Definitely not what Id say after using it.

it has saved PC gaming.

Don't care about PC gaming, I care about IL2 and not having a bunch of bloatware to run the one computer game I have

...yada yada yada...
Cry some more.

Speaking of, this is all I can find for 1C's address:
21, Seleznevskaya str.
Moscow
Is this right? I'm serious about sending them a check when I download the non steam version.

Im pretty sure even cracked games require the steam interface.

Don't be so sure, not even for the multiplayer part

Oleg said we can still use Hl and the like.

This raises something of an interesting question...how do we define "Cracked" ?

Will cracked be a version you download that completely bypass's Steam and solidshield or will cracked be a program that does nothing more than bypass Steam and allow you to register/activate your hard copy through SolidShield?

I would say the latter would not be defined as "cracked" but more on the lines of a "NO-CD" program.

S!

Well then i guess you have never used steam and come across vac...

I would be very surprised if the crack worked online.

Why is there never an option in these polls for: ' I don't know enough about it to comment'. ?

Because they would have clicked the "No I do not have Steam and will not for CoD" option anyway.

Wow. Doom and gloom, it's the end of the world. The more I know about people, the less sense they make to me. The funny thing is I bet the vast majority of the naysayers here are devout socialists. Oh, well no skin off my butt. I'll have COD one way or another (and I'll pay for it).

Because the majority of forumites could never admit such a thing anyway.
