Boxed copies delay

Post by MarcoT. »

Hello everyone,

Due to unforeseeable circumstances, there will unfortunately be a delay in shipping physical products from our factory.
As soon as the issue is resolved, we will resume shipping products as normal. You do not need to do anything at this time.
If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact us via our customer services department.

We apologise for the inconvenience.
When the issue is resolved, we will update you.

As a matter of interest, why do people buy physical game disks, what's the advantage?

Yeah and I suppose if a solar flare or EMP pulse wiped out Slith's game database we'd still have the disk to fall back on because disks are forever..:)

Disks are forever ? This is not my personal experience...

I've got several Close Combat disks which strongly agree with this.

Suppose I wanted to buy a physical disk (eg Panzer Corps 2), would it only be the initial release version?
After installing it, I'd still have to download all the subsequent updates from Slth/Matrix wouldn't I?

I guess. I have the physical version of Cyberpunk 2077 but I had to download the last patch which is 50 GB :roll:
