No Slitherine Install Download!!!

Take command of entire divisions and fight in some of World War 2's largest battles. Battleplan is a unique real-time strategy game that simulates massive month-long battles with hundreds of thousands of troops second by second, day by day. You give high-level orders, then watch your officers and companies carry them out autonomously.

No Slitherine Install Download!!!

Post by eddieballgame »

Purchased Battleplan through Slitherine/Matrix (like always) but was shocked to see (first time ever)...no install to download.
Instead, I get a Steam Key (per usual) only...not a fan of this. Particularly when considering one can purchase this on GOG (DRM free) as well. I feel a little...cheated.
Hoping this is not a trend for purchasing future Slitherine/Matrix games.
I will add, the UI scaling per text needs some work, imho.

I hope that this is answered. I never buy games through Steam, always through the Matrix/Slitherine site.

Agreed; I have concerns for the, coming, release of the new Blood Bowl game (or any new releases, for that matter) following this same format.
After all...what would be the point of purchasing any new games on Slitherine/Matrix?

This is VERY disconcerting.

I have been an active supporter of Matrix Games and Slitherine aka Slitherine Group since the beginning in 2000.

But while I don't mind using Steam, when I purchase my serious wargames, I prefer to get a non online non Steam full installer.

Say what you will, but when I buy software, I own that software.

I have it currently wish listed over on GoG Likely will be where I make my purchase.
I CAN be reached

Will a standalone installer be provided in the future?
