Hmmm I am thinking about getting this game, but seeing some of the posts here are making me think I should avoid the game due to the DRM and not being able to play the original game.

Steam has a list of games that allows you do this. It is a very small list, and this is not one of those games.

Been wanting to try this game for a while. Can't go wrong at $5, though it would be nice to be able to play the original campaign. Seems like decent simulation games don't get made too much anymore.
