That's not us users fault, but rather Steam and their policies with game sales fault. Been a user on Steam for years and now these days having games separated (Origin/Uplay), it's ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I love DCS, there is nothing like it out there. If I have to, I guess I will switch over to the standalone at one point. But for the time being I enjoy my hours being accounted for and being able to use the Steam UI overlay etc.
