King’s Bounty: Warriors of the North Release Date Announced / Pre-Order Available

I'll add my voice here in hope that 1C's sales dept might be interested - I too won't be purchasing this game, unless it does eventually get released as a standalone product (and I'd happily pay more for the privilege). The simplicity of being able to reinstall when a patch is bad or a drive dies is important to me, as is the ability to isolate my gaming machine from the network (and I wonder what the breakdown of the user base is for turn-based games of this ilk - I'd suspect we're more enamored of privacy among other things vs the bulk of Steam fans).

Also, I broke my practice of staying away from online-only games because I wanted to play HOMM VI (or whatever their marketing department renamed it) and after the horror of dealing with ubisoft I'd much rather do without!

Agree 100%!
Let all the digital downloaders play this game 6 ways of Friday, with no losses, mods, online armor, etc....but, at least, give the option of a stand alone physical copy. Home media is not dead yet!
I won't mind as I'll have my ever reliable HoMM 3, with over 1000 maps that game can last me, pretty much forever.

I bought the downloadable version from Steam, but I want to get this as a gift for my dad for X-mas. Is there a retail box version available anywhere? I would like to give him an actual gift he can open.

Thanks!
