Well, I've been waiting for the platinum edition for a long time now (over a year), so I guess I can wait another month or two - I guess the release should happen before Christmas shopping spree to maximize profits...

I bought it off Gamer's Gate because I wanted to try a download..NEVER again. You only get so many activation keys and now I have to call them for more after 2 keys. I reformat at least once a year, usually twice a year.

No other problems with the package (no crashes or anything) but I don't like anyone having any control over the things I own or telling me how to use them..BS. I also like having the box and would like a little KB collection going. If it comes out on DVD I'll buy it again, especially a Platinum version.

You do know that physical DVD versions can, and these days often do, have activation limits just like digital downloads?

I've never heard of activation limits on a store bought CD/DVD/BD. Care to name a few?

Bioshock, Mass Effect and Spore, for example.

Don't have any of those, so it's of no concern to me. Furthermore, activation limits aren't that big of a deal as I have one PC that I use for all gaming. One pc = one install.
But this conversation is kind of moot as 1C, historically, drags their A$$ when releasing KB games on physical media.

My point was that it has already been done in the past and may be done with other games in the future, which could potentially include KB:CW. In which case it would be of concern to you, no?

What I'm saying is, don't automatically assume that physical DVD copy = no activation limits.
