The retail and download versions will use starforce.
The retail version will have also authenticate on a weekly basis.
The net result ? I will pass on, I'll spend my money on a game that deserves it. For every publisher that sees the light (good old games, bethesda, etc...) there is a blind and stupid publisher I guess.
Call it the yin/yang of pc games.

Maybe there will be differences in localised versions, regarding Starforce. It has been like that with different parts of the IL-s series, for example. No part of it in the German version ever had Starforce, some of the other versions had.

If it has starforce, I will regret it, but leave it behind nevertheless.

Uhm maybe. I'm pessimist though.
After lomac every game they made and localized for western audiences have had starforce.
Oh well, I will not loose my sleep over this issue.
To their defense, the game looks really nice and it will have a 500 pages spiral bound manual. Too bad they don't see the value in publishing a game as bethesda does. Its not as if this game will breach the mainstream.

Is that really a defense?

Sounds more like a loosing strategy of theirs. They will be in the middle of a controversy, and it will cost them customers - and that with something that maybe is too complex to be attractice for the mainstream market. I would call that simply stupid a strategy, and a waste of the potential they worked so hard for to raise.

Well, my life quality does not suffer without Blackshark.

And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, 'Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?' Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant.
