Jazzepi: *sigh* We keep going around in circles. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's not going to change our opinion. Agree to disagree.

And I don't even know where you get that butcher example from, but tell you what, go into your local supermarket and demand they start selling Ferraris. Sure, they're a supermarket and not an exotic car dealership, but if a customer wants something and they are willing to pay for it, they should always get it, right? Come on.

Funny thing about when these digital distribution threads crop up, it's always from folks who own the game already. Since its release I don't think we've gotten a single email from someone saying, "I will ONLY buy the game if it's available as a digital download." It's such a non-issue for the majority of gamers.

Anyway, it's been fun, and let's hope everyone hasn't gotten too worked up. Now let's get back to putting all this energy into playing the game.
We do keep going around in circles. I give a reasonable example (IE a butcher providing a different type of meat, since he's, you know, a *butcher*), and you distort it into something ridiculous that is completely off topic, IE the example you just gave. I mean, I know it's convenient for you to throw out these whacked out examples like someone trying to buy a Ferrari from a supermarket, but that's just intellectually dishonest.

Here, let me offer you this so that you have an idea of why you should add digital distro.

If I could buy this game through digital distro with the same DRM currently in place, I would have, and it would have added value to the product while cutting the amount of money it cost you to sell the game, thus increasing your profits.
