By not doing retail, 1C are missing out on a huge chunk of the market... and they will be doing retail, if the posts are to be believed.

faraway foreign company... makes it easier to do a digital release, they've been eventually getting to physical copies and that makes sense! creating the physical copies and then negotiating to have them appear in stores, and then getting them to those stores takes a long time.



anytime a game releases on steam on the same day it releases in the store, guess what? all they've done is needlessly and pointlessly delay the steam release by weeks or months! so something that SEEMS good, is actually quite bad for gamers! (it's only good for the retail outlets)
