FLGibsonJr Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I am going to buy this game, but was wondering what peoples opinions are on the best way to purchase? Buy and download through Steam? Buy download directly through this website? Wait and buy the DVD when that comes out in USA? Any reasoning behind your advice would be appreciated too. Regards, Gibson
indiaciki Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I bought it from the il2 site. I wouldn't buy it on steam because steam games often have issues when updating and since BOS is updating on a daily basis DVD isn't a real option either.
SYN_Blackrat Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Personal preference, the DVD won't be a DVD I think it is a box with a key for steam or here. Do you want all your Steam buddys to know you are flying and Steam achievements then buy Steam, buy it here and it will be updated direct from the Devs servers when you start it up anyway.
SvAF/F19_Klunk Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I would guess the production team gets more dough if bought here, steam probably takes a large chunk
Jason_Williams Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Ummm...no the DVD is in there. However, after first install it goes into your Steam library so it's a bit redundant after that. Jason
FLGibsonJr Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Ummm...no the DVD is in there. However, after first install it goes into your Steam library so it's a bit redundant after that. Jason Will the DVD be available in the USA soon? Regards, Gibson
Leaf Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Buy it from here. Steam takes a large chunk of profit. Edited October 30, 2014 by 19te.Leaf 1
Feathered_IV Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, I'd say buy from here too. Gets the money where it needs to go. 1
Jason_Williams Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Will the DVD be available in the USA soon? Regards, Gibson Hopefully by Thanksgiving. Jason
Bearcat Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I would say buy it here.. I am not a fan of Steam..
SYN_Blackrat Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Having recently emptied my loft of 20 years of gaming boxes and disks, I would advocate downloading :-)
FLGibsonJr Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks for all the feedback, I appreciate it very much. Regards, Gibson
LLv32_kankkis Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Here, y got wonderful Sim. Money for Devs. Edited October 31, 2014 by kankkis
FLGibsonJr Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 One last question...I decided to download the game directly from here instead of waiting for a DVD to come out...but I may be building a new computer soon...so would there be any problem re-downloading the game to a new computer without having to pay for it again? Regards, Gibson
Dakpilot Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 You can download it as many times as you want to as many computers as you want, or have as many instances on one computer, you can however only be logged into one at a time Cheers Dakpilot

Regards, Gibson I've never had any trouble moving from system to system (or any other issues regarding DLC purchases, password recovery, account issues) with ROF, nor have I had any with BOS. Although I do like Steam for it's convenience, I did notice that a lot of times I was playing the latest update while the Steam die hards were anxiously awaiting it (for a few hours).
