And I will order online said box package.

Gone from store, not from mind.

I like better to have immediate download when I buy, then have DVD sent to me immediately thereafter.

Best of both worlds

User having to be Online as a requirement for play at "any" level is not acceptable, unless it's Online play. (Confusing)

Its 2011 and developers couldn't care less, the future is digital distribution, deal with it.

And if it goes down its not the end of the world, why cry so much because you can't play your precious game for a
short while when the Internet is getting repaired or whatever it might be, just makes me sick the whole lack of patience.

RoF was and still is a great title, imo feel sorry for people boycotting it for such reasons(DRM etc).

Maybe you have more faith in computers,the internet and technology than others.Some people can't get internet access .
Sorry,- if i pay for something i want to have it ,not rely on something not going wrong.
You state you feel sorry for people boycotting ROF,surely you have got that the wrong way round ,you should feel sorry for the developers of ROF and SOW for losing people who won't spend their money on these products because as you put it
"Its 2011 and developers couldn't care less, the future is digital distribution, deal with it."
We do deal with it,we don't purchase it and the developers lose money.

If the publisher is not complete amateur, he won't open one channel before the other one.
(unless he wants to p.o. the retailers)

If the publisher is UBIfail,expect to see SoW released in Russia a month before France,in America a month after France,and a month after America for the rest of the world...

Sadly I think because of a culture of piracy PC gamers have brought this situation upon themselves. DRM is now a necessary evil I'm afraid, with some forms being more acceptable than others.

Any single person on here who has ever downloaded a game illegally has no cause whatsoever for complaint. While obviously everyone will protest 'I didn't do it!' and that may well be so, fact remains that someone (and that 'someone' is Legion) is doing it. Honest people are now being inconvenienced for this now, so hope you are pleased with yourselves.

Its the smaller Devs like 777 Studios and Olegs lot I feel most sympathy for.....and they are now being forced to measures which they would no doubt rather not pursue in an ideal world.

People have a right to protect their Intellectual property, as much as they have a right to defend their home; its that simple. Heres a quick analogy; You have just spent 6 years of your life restoring a 1911 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost to its former glory, everything as it should be, a labour of love. Maybe you'll sell it on to a third party later, maybe not. Then some little b*stard sneaks into your garage in the dead of night and wheels away with it Scot free down the road.

All that hard work for nothing. How would you feel? I'm guessing you wouldn't be too amused. I don't like DRM, and I definitely feel sympathy for those who have problems with it for no fault of their own. Because of people who think they are somehow entitled to something for nothing however, it is here to stay. That's the way it is now unfortunately, deal with it.

I'm only going by past experiences. The software would normally enter Australia via the East coast (Sydney) , then get trucked or shipped by rail over to where I live 4352Km (by rail - longer by road) to the West in Perth.

It would be delivered to the shops at least a week after it's in the stores on the east coast.

Normally the software can take a month or more to get to Australia after more civilized places.

I cannot see the distributor holding up a European or American release just so it can hit the shelves in Australia at the same time.

Once it goes gold and into production they'll want it being sold as quickly as possible.

So even if I prefer a boxed copy (Which I do) I'll buy the download if it means me getting the sim when it's released.

I just hope they sell an accessory pack (Pewter wings, Survival Manual, maps, German phrase book (English for German sales) and May West) so we can have the same things as the boxed version!

Cheers!
