I know I'm gonna be a minority on this, but I just downloaded the expansion from Direct2Drive. As I previously posted, I wanted 2 copies, as I wanted to give one as a gift. First off there was no option for updating the quanitity.
All I wanted was to purchase an extra license to keep everything above board, and then give that license to my brother. No way Jose.
So I figure ok, I'll just download it twice and put the 2nd in a different directory. Sorry Charlie, you purchased it once, can't purchase it again.
So then I try to select "yes" that it's a gift. Well then they want the receiver's info. I know for a fact the person I'm giving it too isn't gonna want an account on that site or them having his email address. All I wanted was to give him a copy with no strings attached. And they force you to create an account for the person, so only they can download it?? What if they have a dialup connection?? OR some other limitation?? That just sux as far as I'm concerned.
My main intent was for Subsim to get a little credit for my purchases, that's all. And they did, for my purchase. But now I'm gonna have to go to UBI and download it from their site. Just wanted to post a little heads up incase anyone else was thinking the same thing.
