Both this game and TvT were, by all reasonable expectations, finished games. The main hold up on distribution, I would've thought, lies within the translation of the language part of the game, ie: manuels, sound files, etc. And I've known some Russians that speak very good English, as I'm sure there are others that speak other languages equally well. Even if it's a hold over from the cold war.

But I suppose it could be that the OS that run Russian computers are a lot different than those that run the west's. Anything is possible.

As A side note, I guess it may have more to do with when the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas. Marketing practises transcend national/cultural borders.

I hope SF gets to where I live before Christmas. People have been praising this game.

You could order it online at Lighthouse Interactive, I am kicking myself for ordering it at Play.com, since I wont be cutting down Russian trees until next friday.

I'm reluctant to buy stuffs online with credit card. The only thing that I ever bought online was SB Pro PE and that was because I didn't have an option.

I hear you, but as long as the shops are genuine (in this case a software publisher) you are pretty safe. I order all my stuff online these days, havent been in an ordinary computer shop or gaming shop since 2007, I think.

Cant wait to order my groceries online too.
