Only Impulse?

January 9, 2009 10:17:40 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Are you planing in any type of CD support for your expansion? I live in Europe and i'm not used to buy stuff online, even if I buy, I like to have a CD format of everything I own...

So, in a near future, are you planing in compiling all of your expansions in a CD format? (Read from gamespot that there were going to be 3 for now).

I really liked this game and I really wanted to play the expansions, they look so cool!

Most likely. I bought CDs for the other games I got via impulse.

I don't think these mini expansions will be sold on CD individually. After all of them have been pulished, there might be a combined retail version.

If you like to have a physical copy, just choose "install and archive" in Impluse and burn the install package to a CD.

The Problem here is not only that (The CD format copy) the thing is,  I'm not going to buy it via impulse, I buy all games through game stores...

I'm sad =/

aren't GameStation doing a thing where you buy Sins and you get a code to download the Beta and later full expansion of entrenchment?

I'm in Europe... In my country only have GAME and GameStop, and they don't work like UK or US ones...

i hate buying stuff online to,  frankly  b4 i bought entrenchment i thought they'd send me a CD/box or something like that  as soon as they finished developing.  only after the purchase i read through that E-mail and found out that it's digital only   i rly love having stuff on CD ,  so im burning it myself as soon as theyre done with development and we get 1.0

Unfortunately at $10 it's not practical to press CDs, produce boxes, ship them to stores, and get retail space.

 

The "archive" option in Impulse is your best bet if you want a CD copy. Or you can wait until all the expansions are done to see if they produce a retail version then (but I doubt they will given a large chunk of the market will already have them from Impulse).

Personally I'm haqppy with them skipping the cd entirely and just leting us use the archive option to back it up on a flash drive or whatever if we want to. After all, the money they save on making it digital gets passed along to the customers making for a cheaper costing product and bigger sales for them. (and a faster release date since they don't have to spend time/money designing the packaging, negotiating with retail stores etc..)
