Would Penumbra: Requiem be also a Boxed version? - Yuhaney - 04-17-2008

There are news about third Penumbra. It's called Penumbra: Requiem.

News also say that you can get it only with Download.

Do you think that it would be good to get it also as Boxed version?

I think it is kind of dumb personally not to release a boxed version as I will buy it if it's boxed but I can't download it even if I wanted to.

I have the same dilemma as you. Undecided

I would prefer a boxed version. Two reasons:

1) Easier to buy and on disk.

2) People with not very good internet can get it (like me!)

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I say that everyone whose internet is not good enough to download Requiem should boycott it! What do you say?

Think about it.
The average penumbra episode is about 7 hours.
This is an expansion, which likely means it's going to be shorter.
It will likely cost $15 or so.

Since the game is short, cheap, and made by a small company you get very little profit after
-packaging
-transportation
-store profits

Since the distributer wouldn't make much money from boxing it, it isn't worth his time.

Well Overture was $15. So really I suppose it comes down to whether anybody would buy it. A lot of people prefer CD's to downloads.

A expansion pack? Wow the first one i ever saw !

Well.. Luckily i got awesome internet! Downloads at 1 mb a second.
Don't believe me?

I downloaded overture in about 1 minute so i didn't have time to go to the toilet
