Why I would like SoW to go DD (Digital Distribution)

I'm certainly not saying it should be the only option, but it would be nice as an alternative option. If Maddox Games were to offer it I'd use that option.

I guess it all depends if "exclusive" was written into the contract.

The contract even includes advertising and all rights on the engine AFAIK, which is infact why I always wonder why people blame Oleg for bad publicity works.

As you can see with IL2 now, if anybody makes the decision to make SoW go by DD, it's apparently UBI.

Are you sure re: the engine? I couldn't not see Oleg signing over the game engine, that would be suicide.

It was posted before that the whole SoW-series was included in the contract with UBI. To what extend I don't know for sure, but it would make sense, as if they only own the title, 1C could simply rename the project after the initial release and there you go.
