when will i be able to purchase a retail copy?

[Feuerwalze]

Thank you for the hint Gniarf. Lucky France!! Did you buy an international (EU) version of the game or is it a french only version?

OK, now we found out that NV is available in France, which is ONE European country. Allow me to quote from the official NV website.

"February 20th 2009
Necrovision on sale! WW1 FPS is life on shelves right now in the most European countries. UK release is planned on the 27th of February. Enjoy the winter gore..."

By the way, the same thing seems to be going on with Men of War. You can download the bit torrent version of the game since weeks but unfortunately the publisher seems unable or unwilling to get retail copies out to the shops.

I truly regret that the good work that´s been done by the developers of those games is spoiled by the way 1C are doing / not doing their job.

Still waiting for a statement...
