ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins 3. Can I order the digital download now and "upgrade" to the boxed copy later?
No! Unfortunately. This is at the top of our list for future store improvements, but it can't be done now without a very involved manual process. Therefore, if you think you will want a boxed copy, our advice is to be patient and wait until that option is available in the store. If you order a digital download now, we will not be able to "upgrade" you to a boxed copy in the future.
Oh to heck with that, I'm going to buy both!!
Actually, I'll be buying several of the boxed sets to give to friends...unless they're cowards or something!
Sirs,
I must say i feel let down by this way of release. I got hold of my copy the first day when it was download only. As i recall no specific information on the store site was given at that time that an physical shipment would be available as well, though not shipped instantly. Apperantly you where supposed to look in the forum first?!
Today i see that you have an option to download and get the physical shipment when ready, which seems to be pretty soon as well..
I don't really see the point of releasing like this originally. I think it of course should have looked like you have now from day one, get the option to download at once and get the physical shipment when ready.
I really loved the old game so that was the reason i bought what was available at the time. But if i'd known that there was an physical shipment in the pipe including the printed manual for only about 10 Euro more, i would have waited for that option of course.
It is really a shame that you can't provide us that bought the game on day one a chance to get the additonal physical shipment to the additional price you now charge for that kind of a shipment.
The reworked game is very good and it almost worth paying again to get the physical copy. But then i would have spent almost 80 Euros on this game, which simple is way too much, no matter how good the game is.
Very much enjoyed the Atomic Close combat series when it was out so I'm glad to see its return. Any chance other Atomic games will re-live? The V for Victory series for example? (Market Garden). I realize some of those titles were paid for by others (MS, Avalon Hill etc) The V for Victory series were very playable.
Thanks
