Would you prefer to buy WOP from Steam or yuPlay?
Just curious.

how about you Raw Kryptonite are you picking this puppy up?

I've been downloading for 15 hours and have 64% completed (steam)

Already prepurchased beta with yuplay....glad I did.

I love the 360 version, (as you know) and have been waiting on pc version to come out on steam. As it is, I'm glad I hadn't gotten around to it yet. I'm going to hold off for now.

I would prefer to buy it from a store or even order a disk online. You should have added that option. I have at least 40 PC games but have never bought a digital one. I am very reluctant too do it this way otherwise i would have the full version allready. What benefit, if any, to the customer is there in buying a digital version?? It surely is NOT any cheaper. What can i get from a digital version that i cant get from a hard copy on disk? I dont see a single benefit to me and its my very hard earned money I would be spending.

Do you have kids? I do, the majority of my disk have some way or the other been scratched beyond repair. Also, you can place the install files on a thumbdrive, burn it to disk, or store it on a hard drive. Then if you manage to loose all those you can still log back in and download again.

I'm exactly opposite in this regard as I prefer digital downloads.

I bought it via Yuplay but would've preferred to buy from Steam, since I like to keep my sources of downloadable games small and Steam has provided excellent service over the years.

I don't care for a box, a dvd or tiny printed leaflets, a game I can start downloading late Saturday night and have on my HD saturday morning is just fine for me.

Coochie,

I would imagine that downloading is more sustainable (not having done a life cycle analysis or anything). Saving the energy from the manufacturing and transporting of the media is most likely more environmentally friendly (as is not driving to the store to pick it up or have it shipped).

Cheers.

I'll get it from Steam, once the controller issues are sorted out.
That's all I am waiting on. I would have already had it from YuPlay, had that issue been fixed before release. Now with the Steam version, I will buy it from there.

Please tell me that's a misprint. Certainly it didn't take a week to download, did it?

I used to be a hard copy only kind of guy but now I quite like Steam.

Its just so handy, if you want to re-install something you just log into your account, find your games list and off you go. New PC, leave Steam on overnight wake up next morning all your games are downloaded and patched raedy to go. I wish all my software worked this way.

From a store, if possible, inside a box.

Sorry to bug you guys with details but I just wanted to ask:
So, if i download the game in digital version, when I do it, I can easily save eveything that is downloaded in one folder that I can simply burn to disk and save hard copy to re-install or uninstall on my computer whenever i want just like if I bought the disk at a store, correct?
I dont know if Ill ALLWAYS have a fast internet connection like i do now and I dont want to ever have to download it twice. I want the freedom of using it even if I dont have an internet connection.
I am a pasionate surfer and I made a sacrafice a few years back and moved from up north where I made a lot more money to a small beach town in florida where the water is warm allmost year round and I never have to wear a wet suit, hot chicks in skimpy bathing suits are plentifull year round everywhere you look, but the jobs and money are scarce. I dont know if ill allways be able to afford cable and a fast internet connection but i still want the freedon of playing a game that i payed $50 for. Internet connection or not. I also want the freedom to install the game on another computer up north if i decide to go up there this summer to work and save more money. if I go there, i will be traveling light. Just bring clothes, tools and computer software (I work with CAD programs). So, once I download digital version, I can make a hard copy, use it, and I wont HAVE to go on steam again If i dont want to right?

I donwloaded it from YuPLay. It is one folder that could easily be burned or backed up on a key. You just double click the .exe and voila.

This is the first game I have ever downloaded as well. I like having a disc.

I'm curious about steam as well. My experience with Half Life 2 is you need to have an internet connection after you install or you can't even get into "offline" mode. Makes me nervous.

I purchased the yuplay HTTP service $8/year and the dl is very fast. Saved the files to an external hd so no problems in the future.

I have the same questions as coochie here, and i'd like to see someone, who knows, who would be kind enough to answer these specific questions which Coochie and I are asking,please.
In my specific case, if i downloaded it on to this computer, i would need to transfer it to my gaming computer. can that be done?

TIA

This is what I have read about steam. If I was reluctant to use it before, im totally freaked out about it now. I dont mean to ruffle anyone feathers but what it is, is what it is. Sounds like steam is a form of big brother holding people by the balls:

"Steam is undeniably a form of DRM - it manages your rights to accessing the digital content which you've purchased. You must verify ownership of all Steam-purchased games online before you can play them, in other words every Steam game comes with product activation. You must download all applicable game update via Steam, as well as Steam client updates, on a regular basis. Furthermore the Steam client runs in the background when accessing Steam games and related features, adding to either Windows startup time or game launch times depending on how it's configured. There are a range of verified problems which Steam can induce on a system, whether it be in accessing Steam games, slow or non-completing downloads, even crashes. Finally, Valve's Privacy Policy allows it to collect a range of information from Steam users without their knowledge and without offering any opt-out options.

So essentially, Steam has all the elements which would make it a prime candidate for users to complain endlessly about unnecessary resource usage, potential performance problems, being spied upon without their knowledge, unwanted restrictions on access to their games, rootkits, and so forth. Yet why did Steam go on to be so incredibly successful despite the initial years of user anger, while StarForce and now SecuROM have had a massive hate campaign waged against them? I contend that it's due in large part to the substantial fan base for Valve's CounterStrike and Half Life games who have unquestioningly supported Valve in virtually every move it makes. I'm not suggesting that Steam is a bad piece of software, and of course Valve has also implemented various improvements to Steam over the years. However at its core Steam is still DRM and still imposes various restrictions very similar to something like SecuROM. And while SecuROM has its drawbacks, so too does Steam".

If I cant get a hard copy of this game, i am buying it from yuplay for sure. yuplay probobly has its own problems and security crap protections but i dont want to add steams with it also. someone wrote in a post in this forum about finding two DRM's in there game when they used steam. Above article seems to explain that.

I have a different outlook.




Not likely to get someone so deeply involved in your game AND Steam to interact with the fans like Anton and the guys do. The relationship didn't occur to me.
I've got the game and my P-40 now.

I want to get this, after playing IL2 since the demo I can't resist the lovely scenery, problem for me is my ISP has unlimited downloads, which in Oz often means unlimited up to 12gb then tapered to 64k, this makes it very hard to download these multi gigabyte games, is this available anywhere on disc?

There seems to have been only a limited PC release which is a shame. I think there's a decent market for this on PC, as others have said it plays like an aerial Call of Duty.
