nikebee Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Just looking on the store as I still haven't purchased TEW 2016 (only one I've never owned to date!) and I noticed you can optionally purchased a CD version of the game. Does anyone have a CD version of any of the games? As an old school gamer, I just thought it would be awesome to see the game in a box and actually on a CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everything stays the same or if you just install the game and youre good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 As far as I know the CD is purely for people who have poor Internet connections. I believe it would come in a generic case / sleeve and no box or artwork. You'd have to do an offline eLicense, which requires the use of a computer with Internet as well.

Blackman Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 There are those old school people that always like boxes with their games, just like there are people who need to have boxed dvd's, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a case with the installer in. It's provided for people who don't have Internet access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhost Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I do have one from when I bought 2010. And sorry to burst your bubble, there is no fancy box. It's just a regular CD-Rom in a paper sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been awesome to have a proper boxed version of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhost Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yeah it would be cool, but yeah the version they sent me was basically a CD-Rom that has my game on it, then had trial versions for a bunch of other games on it. Basically had one of those do it yourself print labels on the front. Nothing fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs a great deal to make for such a small stock. Boxed games have been coming with cd-keys for a while now, which isn't any different from this game.

Of course, I'm not saying it would be cost effective at all and the number of people who would want one would be slim. But the idea of boxed versions of indie games is still very appealing to some... it's why things like IndieBox (https://store.theindiebox.com/) became so popular.

LoganRodzen Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm a pure digital gamer. I've been that way on the PC for years and the Xbox One solidified it. I don't trade games in. I buy a game and I keep it, whether I liked it or not. With a young son, having physical games is a nightmare. You can only keep things out of reach or baby proof for so long. Kids get smart fast!
