Default Re: How about a game bundles

Downloads have a higher cost in servers, maintenance, and surprisingly in the cost of support. Many smaller companies tend to do either hard copy or download but not both. Larger companies seem to almost do the same by just creating two divisions that act like 2 single companies specialzing in one or the other.

This is especially true if each company is still having to write their own software to manage it all. Im still watching for a good plug-in module like you can get for adding a forum or a chat button or a search. (or just give up and join someone else like StarDock or Steam or Microsoft Distrib)
