Buy DVD or Download?

Glock30Eric · 02-18-13, 09:37 AM

Hello Subsim,

I have been stalking Subsim for many years. It is about time for me to make the first thread. This time is awesome time for Subsim if I understand this right.

I understand that it might be best for me to buy SH5 and all other series through Amazon rather than download those games?

Please let me know if I should buy DVDs or download them?

Of course I will buy those games through the link of Subsim to Amazon to support Subsim, if it is the best way.

Happy hunting and carry on,

Eric

Welcome aboard Eric!

No matter DVD or downloadable version..
The main thing - not to buy the Steam version

Hello eric, welcome in.
No matter what, I always like to have a hard copy of a game (CD). I will "Ditto" volodya61 as to the Steam version. You will not get the benefit of many (or all) of the mods. They are incompatible. Best to have the either the Non-steam downloadable game (and put it right back on a cd or flash drive, anything) or just get the CD or DVD, whatever.

Thanks I'll download the series. I believe I have SH3.

I hope the mods in SH4 and 5 are awesome. I'll explore in the other section of this for mods related. I'll ask question later if I need some inputs to run bootcamp in the new iMac 2012.

Happy hunting and carry on,

Eric

Targor, a question. Can you burn the download to a DVD so you can reinstall from the DVD again, and still have a keycode that works for the reinstall also?
