I like steam as well, it can check your install for faults, lets you interact with other players who play the game, gives you an ingame overlay with all kinds of functions and lots of other things.
But aside from that, the only thing I notice when playing a steam game, is the "Starting your game" message and that's it.

So you're skipping CoD because you don't 'like' steam? I doubt you have interest in CoD in the first place, anyway, your loss

As long as it works i'm fine with it. Fine doesn't mean i have to like it, it just means i'm going to tolerate it, because no matter how useful it is i prefer to be able to mod my games and/or rollback a patch if it's causing me problems without having to backup the entire game folder. Generally speaking, i dislike having added layers of complexity that can interfere with my gaming. I don't say everyone should feel the same and that's where the magic word comes in: options. If things are optional and not forced across the board, a lot more people are going to be happy because the end product will work either way.

People are free to have their own opinions and calling them idiots because they dislike steam is like calling someone an idiot for not liking the colour purple: it's a friggin' matter of taste for crying out loud

If they don't like it they won't buy it and guess what, it's their right to do so.

I'm not buying it as long as it has a Steam requirement! Not no way, not no how......

Who has any faults? And if we did in the past, we always called it "re-install"! Not hard at all. And I can interact with other players on forums like this, so how is that a big advantage? And some say auto patching and updating is great. Sorry, would rather do it myself!! We never had steam in the past, don't need it now. It will just mean fewer people will buy the game. Not not so much my loss, but Oleg and his gang's loss. I can still play IL2 and will still do so, at least it looks that way. 1C will be the big loser here and it's too bad.

Actually it will be the exact opposite of that...

By it being available and playable online through steam, the exposure to potential gamers grows exponentially.

This is a helpful step for the life of this franchise.
