Any plans to release CoD without DRM?

Is there anywhere else that I can get it cheap?

I just sent you a private message. Maybe also for an Australian a way to get Cliffs of Dover a bit cheaper.

Thanks very much for the PM - the prices are definitely better than $50. I'll go buy it now. Thanks again

To answer the rest of your questions, '46 is still being "officially" worked on, because the support of this title had been outsourced to Team Daidalos, on official subcontractor for the job one might say. The original developers switched to next project (CoD) few years ago, but TD is still in the business and the old deal seems to be working just fine (upcoming patch 4.12 being the best example here).

Sadly, the same did not happen after official CoD support had been dropped last year, so we must rely on private, unofficial support attempts by modding community gathered around ATAG (similar case to submarine enthusiasts and their Silent Hunter franchise). So far so good, the latest community patch solved many of the game's issues and I can only hope that lack of access to source code will not become a "showstopper" for ambitious modders anytime soon.

Cheers.

LOL! Most CloD "haters/naysayers" are camping there, will lynch him.

I just don't see any reason to pay $20 or so for a game which is apparently not that great

If believed that is "not great", better dont buy.
Use this "20$" to buy RoF scarf or planes, "Lions/Eagles" for War Thunder or save to buy Il-2 BoS - "The Redemption".

And, if are only a "offliner", I think that is better dont buy - because CloD IA issues - stay with the great Il-2 1946 content until Il-2 BoS - "The Redemption" arrive.

But, if are a "onliner", look at weekend sales of Gremangaming, Getgamesgo, eventually CloD are sold for U$ 5~10 - maybe chance your opnion about "no so great game".

BTW - In SimHQ are a workaround to use CloD (offline) without Steam.
