I bought FSX Steam Edition when it was on sale and it's probably one of the very few Steam purchases I actually regret. It runs so poorly for me and they're charging so much for addons. I made the decision to switch to DCS/BMS after just a short amount of time flying on FSX.
I used to play FS9 almost religiously, but FSX:SE left a bad taste in my mouth for the MSFS series.
It's a shame FSX drove you away from Steam, Steve. Although the game not being registered to your account is an interesting issue. I can't say I don't respect the decision to abstain from using it.
