Box or Download?

[Bram Hengeveld]

Is there anything known already how Assetto Corsa will come to us? What do you prefer: a simple DVD in a box or a digital download like NKP?

DVD unconditionally, if it's not too expensive to be shipped to Korea.

The traffic control is not here at all.

I'd like to see a D/L version for their release and a Special Edition version (or something like it) DVD in a box only to satisfy the "old school purist" in me. I still have some titles in boxes going back to the 80's.

I know the arguments against boxed software, and I understand it. I'd not want to see a boxed version of the title to impede the release of it, however.

Personally I don't care about boxes, I don't even have a DVD drive in my PC anymore

How retro would that be!!

My house, yesterday. That's in the same room as my driving PC, everything linked up through my stereo. I don't consider vinyl to be retro.

 

[Xosé Estrada]

I actually enjoy vinyl as well, it has a characteristic sound and an own soul, but that's for music

I think it should be both ways.BOX for colection and DL for practical use.
BUT as i understood,we will have updates and so on...than a BOX game will not suit well.
Imagine you have to reinstall the game from different reasons,With BOX you have to install the game than apply the updates,when having a download option,you can simply downloaed the last version with all the updates to that date.My opinion.

 

[Taranta]

Box equal to costs lost for sim

VHS is my preference. Or even audio cassette.

Hell I would definitely buy it on vinyl just for the better quality audio.

Dont forget Beta max lol

Download will do fine for me

that or whack it on a Carrier Pigeon and have it flown to me!

I would prefere initially a download version BUT after the game gets ironed a bit and some additional content gets released i would love a dvd "game of the year" version to have in my library.

 

[Lee Knight]

Doesn't really bother me with how it comes, but how it is once on my PC...
And the way thats running lately, it'll probably end up as a circa1900's B&W high-speed slide show with a Pianola down beside the screen!

DL is a must initially I'd say. Few copies as disc a bit later is nice too. As long as it makes sense costwise.

Maybe a poll would be in order? Boxed DVD, direct download, digital delivery services... What else is there? A thousand floppy discs.

For me ideally, it would be on Steam

 

[Peter]

Only download

 

[Mapu]

Just to say, I would accept a download method. But it's always better to have more than one option.

i can always offer my pigeons to Kunos, they do a heck of a job delivering stuff, (no i don't use them to drop drugs in prisons!)

 

[Kazumi]

Download. And maybe boxed for people who prefer boxed.

Dunno about Steam

 

[Andy_J]

I prefer boxed dvd anytime. It's a physical thing to me.

 

[kikie]

DVD anytime. I don't have the means to pay for a download. I had to bother a friend to pay for the Netkar pro licence with his credit card. Payed him back ofcourse.

The problem there is, just because it's out on DVD, it doesn't mean it'll get to a store near you. So you'll probably have to get it online anyway.
