Why I won't buy Penumbra: Black Plague

[aniruddha]

as for me, I just burn the game on a CD. it's as good as any other retail game on CD or DVD.

Off course this isn't true. home made cd's are of inferior quality and don't last as long as a professionally pressed cd's

I have a feeling your topic is really just saying "I want the boxed version, but it doesn't sound like it ever will so I'll complain about something else."

Not really, if they had a download system like Introversion (where you have a personal account where all your keys plus download links are stored) I would be happy too.
