Re: Why isn't there an online purchase?
This has been answered many times.
Short guess, because there is not yet a standard ironed-out installable package to handle digital distribution. All of the sites have to write their own or buy into something like Steam.
Shrapnel does offer downloads of games. But they do not seem willing to take chances with their heavy hitters.
And its actually quite likely that the game shipped today. This is not the size company that shuts down on weekends. In fact, its the size company that does most of their work on weekends.
