I would buy this game immediately if it was a $30.00 download.

Once again, you're changing from "this is my interpretation" to "there is no other way".

Yes, because the more I thought about it, there is no other way. It is still my interpretation however, namely that there is no other way

BTW, software piracy is no more an issue with a CD copy of the program, than it is for a downloaded Version. Are you suggesting that software pirates can't wait for the mail?

MS Office, NT 4.0 and countless others are pirated everyday. And all of them are distributed by CD.

Making Dominions 2 available for dowload will only increase the chance that we'll buy it, while at the same time reducing your costs.

I'm not a hacker or a software pirate, but I am an impulse buyer.

The problem with downloads is the bandwith you have to provide and to handle all the cases of corrupted and aborted downloads. It's mainly a technical problem for Shrapnel.

I find this hard to believe, since the demo is being download as we speak. You'll have to come up with a better excuse than that.

Nice Poll, I liked the 3 tiered questions. Also interesting to see how everyone else voted as well.
