That's fine, let the diehards pick the game apart for bugs. It would just be nice to hear from a 1C employee confirming the physical copy, pictured in the upper right corner of this screen, is on it's way with a possible release date.
I don't think that's asking a lot.

You're right and I see no reason why the retail-version isn't listed in any other shop. I'll keep my fingers crossed, that you'll get this confirmation asap!

Just wondering if 1C has found anything out about this?

To me its alot more work for companys to make 2 versions.. 1 steam and then another physical.. Not to mention the patch issues.. copies avail from places other then this company... But thats as far as I will go on that.. Me personally I cant stand steam I think its nothing but an beg farm to get you to buy more games.. But again having stuff auto patched is cool and saves the total newbies on coming here asking questions how.
my .0002 cents on this, its about all its worth LOL.

I understand 1C can make more money by selling digital downloads vs. physical copies. If anything, why not roll out the DD, let all the bugs and major patches cycle through, then release a physical copies for all old farts/diehards!
The entire series, to date, has been sold as as physical copies...and it still seems to be going strong. So why not keep it going?
You can tell that this thread with over 1000 views, probably has a few lurkers just waiting for the news!

Was just wondering if anyone from 1C can comment on this thread?

There are retail versions available, but all of them require Steam to activate. After activation and updating you can switch Steam to offline mode, but I'm sure you know this already.

@Sneaksie

As far as I could see in the net the only place you can order a retail version right now seems to be Amazon Germany. They send my copy out today, so I can confirm that there are retail versions, but neither on Amazon.com nor on other big online stores I was able to find a possibility to order one.

Would it be possible for you to give some examples of where to order them?

Kind regards
