And could Illwinter/Shrapnel then do something similiar that at least the people who want to play MP have to buy Dominions 3 ? I think this would result in at least slightly higher sales too .
Shrapnel isn't remotely close to large enough to be able to afford to create the server farms needed for even a small-scale Version of that sort of thing. If they cannot afford to invest the resources to provide electronic downloads, nor are willing to take the risk, what makes you think they could do centralized server gaming (which is costlier and riskier)?
I'll restate what's already been said. We do offer some of our games via download. The reason a select few of our titles are available by download is not because we "cannot afford to invest the resources." I think our stance on this has been addressed in earlier Posts. Are we willing to "take the risk"? What's risks are you referring to? The risk of a high rate of customer dissatisfaction?
