Default Re: Downloadable retail needed?

Downloadable still has many pros and cons. Finding a downloadable retail would be good but do any exist? So far as I know everyone is still playing with it on their own with various results.

GalCiv which is a great arrangment and working well for them but its only their system and not available to others. As far as I know Brad isnt packaging/selling that system.

And altho I agree that there would be more sales, Im not sure if Dom3 would generate enough sales that otherwise wouldnt happen in order to justify getting into the headaches of direct download.

I think that many of the problems with direct download might be settled by offering it as a BitTorrent file and selling the serials. But thats a whole different can of worms.

Dominions_2 should be made available for purchase via download. I would recommend all their games be made available for purchase via download after a new sequel is released.
