Well it is a bit cheaper for both parties since the download doesn't come with the paper manual, the cardboard box , the actual cd + the sleeve etc.

Because bandwidth and server maintenance are free?
Not to mention costs for developing and maintaining distribution software :O
Now I agree that I'd like it if eventually every game could be purchased and downloaded directly from the internet (with *.pdf manual and an option for paying extra for a tangible copy with printed manual), we have to realize that that eventual future is not here yet.

Re: Buying the game online (download)
Don't worry, many other Finns have already succumbed, and you shouldn't have any troubles finding people to play with. We're trying to eventually gather enough Finns to take over the #dominions IRC channel in Gamesurge.  |

Re: Buying the game online (download)
Has anyone else noticed the latest hot-news press release from Shrapnel?
http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...=6&o=2&fpart=1
Three of their games have become digital downloads.
Quote:
Shrapnel Games has now made available for immediate pay and play BCT: Brigade
Combat Team, ATF: Armored Task Force, and Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War.
Best of all gamers won't have to make a decision between buying a download version or
a physical version, they'll get both! And for no extra charge!
|
It looks like its some of the games from one particular developer. I definetly wish Shrapnel the best of luck with this (and then maybe it will expand to other titles ).
