Definitive CD release date?

@Zechnophobe,

I'm pretty sure Mr. Nike-it is more than a thread moderator. It stands to reason that if 1C only releases AP via download as cost saving feature, then
their employees probably multi-task.

@Vomaxx,

I would not hold my breath on an April/May release. 1C thinks little outlets like: Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc are not big enough to sell their product to the masses. Meanwhile the 14 diehards on here having fun with their mods, and biased gaming sites offer useless awards. Color me impressed!

@ Nike-it,

Anything you'd like to add to this discussion? Thought so.

I wonder, what is the problem with a digital download? Saves you the money you will otherwise spend on package, saves you the troubles with corrupt or damaged CD/DVD's. You can burn the game to as many disks as you want because you have the activation key for it which you can store pretty much everywhere. Looks like a good deal without spending way too much money on the game.

@DGDobrev,

Good point...on the flip side, what's wrong with a hard copy release? How are all the other gaming companies so wrong? You would think that a small company like 1C should be doing it better than the bigger compaines.
For example, Torchlight was released via downloard then a short time later it was widely released on hard copy. Do you, honestly, think Daiblo3(just appeared on Amazon 3 days ago) will ONLY be released via download...Nope! Maybe many years in the future streaming will be the main source of entertainment(games, blu-ray, etc) right now the current infrastructure is not set up to handle that. People, like myself, enjoy owning a product(case, booklet, artwork, etc) not just doing a flash download.
Again, I encourage ANYONE from 1C to comment on this...it's their forum, afterall. Thought so.
