I would prefer a box, provided it includes fold out keyboard maps (to use until I remember all the keys), large map, unit data sheet, and a poster to decorate my room.

And I will order online said box package.

Gone from store, not from mind.

PS! (predictive sensor)
51% it will be here BEFORE April 1's

Not entirely sure thanks to google's translation here, but does this mean they already have a publisher?

not sure but i think he means it'll be available for digital download on steam, but if no publisher decides to make a box version then we don't get a box version.

Ups no box version......no money from me.....been ripped off too often with download versions.

If I can download it, burn it to a DVD and download the coverpicture, then it's ok. Making a boxed version will make the game more expensive or reduce profits.

only 0815 games come without boxed versions.

Two versions will have different prices, you want a boxed version - you'll have to pay more.
That's normal and was always like that.
I have no problem paying $30(or whatever they ask) more for for a hardcopy - I want to own the game physically on a DVD, everything else is not an option.

Oleg just said they will make it available on Steam too - otherwise they wouldn't really need a publisher to begin with.

Nothing said about there being no boxed version, re-read it and you will find that that it says that SoW will be on steam as a condition made by the publisher. Many games -if not a majority- are released on steam AND boxed nowadays. Keep cool, keep cool
