Oscar, you do this every time a new game is to be released. Relax, man. What will come will come.

As long as what will come will not come by digital download only. I need disc

I keep my discs right next to my phonograph and vinyl records.

I have no credit card and family members never shop online for fear of their credit card information from being stolen and used illegally.

I'm in no way able to convince them otherwise. I use wire transfer. So if digital download allows wire transfer then I'm in. But I still prefer disc that I can buy from retailer who accepts wire transfer even if I have to fork out more quite a little bit more in fact about 31 bucks more for bank fees and all.

Ham I a bit late to add my opinion?

I would like to see SCS release, a game that is like FC and DW in one, i.e. you get a set number of ships\subs\aircrafts let say five of each with multiple stations. Then all the other units in the game can be given orders, like how it work in Fleet Command.

I think this would make DW & FC fans very happy, to get the best of both worlds, if they had done this with Dangerous Waters it would have been super-cool.

Hey Castout.

I have had my credit card number hack about five times, so I can see why you & your don't shop online. I've found if your very careful where you use the CC you should be ok.

The main thing I changed after the fifth time my number was use by someone else was I build a computer specific for doing online ordering and banking. I don't download anything onto it other than Window updates and Internet Security Protection updates, and also the web pages I go on only the ones I've tried and test. The first thing I do before I order anything is I do an updates check and then I do a quick scan and lastly I type the http;\ into the Browser I don't go via Favorites links and I haven't had any problems with my CC been use illegally.

Just be careful where you use your credit card and that your on the right web site.

Umm thanks FC. My mother had her CC information stolen and she had never bought anything online anywhere.

My guess is she had her CC information stolen when she used the card to pay in the real world. Perhaps when paying a meal in a cafe or eatery.

So even not buying anything online is no guarantee

Sure you must be careful. But I'm very happy Steam customer. One click, and next day the game is installed. No pesky copy protection, no problem with unreadable CDs (and I get them a lot with my laptop as CD drive has usually some dust in it). Automatic updates, one click to support forums, recommend (or warnings) to/from friends.
If I get a choice, I go for Steam .. no boxes, no discs for me please.
Paper manual for sim game would be nice, yeah .. but in age of iPads and similar devices I can live even without that.

@Castout: You can sign up for a paypal account and put money on it by buying a gift card from a store and use that to shop online. You pay a service fee for the card put no one can steal it and ring up a bunch of charges.

Not sure where you would buy them in your country though.

I disagree. I'd say we now have 500% more information than before.
