Definitive CD release date?

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.
