RE: PzC Kharkov '43 Just Released
For me this is a simple matter.
1) I think the PzC is the best pc wargame series hands down.
2) The makers and supporter are top flight
3) Digital download has a seat at the table today and will be king of the future.
I would prefer to have a disc and a nice case when I add to my collection of PzC games but I understand the reasons for DD and can probably live with it. But,and it's a big but. I do not like the notion that a manufactur has any say whatever in how I enjoy their products providing I do so in a lawful and responsible manner. If I want the game on 10 pc's I should have that option having paid for the game. If I buy a TV nobody tells me what to watch on it or limits what I watch to that TV or another.
These games get heavily modified over time with awesome improvements by folks like Volcano Man, Jison and others. To delete, reinstall and add the mods I like everytime I want to play the game on another pc is a huge restriction (not to mention pain in the a$$) on my enjoyment of what is my property.
If I elect to continue to enjoy and support new PzC games I'll have to find a way to live with this. But I hope JT reconsiders these decisions and finds ways to return control of the games to their paying customers. I would gladly pay $10.00 more to have a CD.
