I decided to d/l via steam for about $68 NZ, and once I d/l a mod to make the SH3/4 leys work on this, I am starting to get into it tbh. Worth the $$ so far and can only get better than SH3/4 ever got with more mods and patchs.
I agree its crap that with less than 24 hrs notice we get told from Mighty Ape that date is now 12th, get another supplier I say.
