ntg84 Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 I searched for an answer on the page but couldn't find it so why isn't this game available in stores and only on internet order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mirage2k Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 The answer should be in BTS's "Manifesto", accessed from the main page. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OberGrupenStompinFeuhrer! Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 I just went back and reread the Manifesto. And I found this..."Are you the sort of person who prefers reading Stephen Ambrose to John Grisham? Would you rather see Saving Private Ryan or Cross of Iron twice rather than Titanic even once? Do you find yourself glued to documentary programs on the History Channel while everyone else is watching Ally McBeal?" Well, apart from much preferring John Keegan to Steve "One Eye" Ambrose any day of the week, that little paragraph describes my lurking habits pretty well exactly. I'M NOT ALONE ANYMORE!!!!!

ntg84 Posted June 19, 2000 Author Share Posted June 19, 2000 Why not offer full game for download and pay for it too? Great for people with cable and who don't want to wait. (or can this not be done? I don't know?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfinder1 Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 ntg84....that is way too easy to hack and burn... BTS has explained their rasoning in the past and it sure seemed reasonable to me... ------------------ this is pathfinder's evil twin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeydz Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 There are several issues concerning why no direct downloads. First is how are you going to get the manual. They won't make an online text or adobe acrobat version, mainly because online manuals tend to be annoying, and piracy concerns. The second part is that broadband access is not in a majority of homes out there, so that would be of use to a comparatively small percentage of thier customers. And finally is piracy concerns of the game itself. Maybe in the future, but not at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
