Re: Why Not Digitial Distribution?

And what's to say it's not doing perfectly fine as it is?

Sorry, I phrased that poorly. What I meant was "even better". I know this game has done very well, very deservedly. I just meant that if it were possible to extend the audience even further then it would be good to do that.

Let's see, just in this thread Saulot said, " I know Dominions is great and all, but who can't wait a week or two, for what is, in the end, just a game?" So is his view any less valid than yours?

Of course not. But let's assume 8 out of 10 people think like Saulot, and 2 in 10 like Jazzepi (I suspect it is a more even split than that). Well, even then you could gain a 25% sales increase by offering digital distribution! That's huge.

Exactly. And it's not like offering digital distro damages the physical distro for those that want it. Basilisk games, another indy developer, actually it's just one guy, has the perfect setup. You can buy the physical copy, or you can buy the digital copy. In either case, you can download the game right away and start playing.
