Title: Where to buy W:A?
Post by: Garf on January 17, 2014, 05:54 AM
I've been playing W:A pretty enthusiatically long ago.
But CDs are long lost, and I really don't want to go and buy CDs (with crappy old DRM stuff involved that's gonna be installed).
So, I think if anyone wants to promote the game, a good step would be to help folks like me: Where can I buy W:A digitally? GoG.com would be a good spot to look for it, but it's not there. Any other digital distribution available that doesn't require junk (like Steam)?

There's no horrible DRM involved if you get the disc version of the game (one of the updates a long time ago removed all but the CD check). You can even avoid the fugly SoldOut Software installer entirely and run Install.exe manually if that's the version you end up with. It's still cheaper than Steam and you can make an ISO image out of it for comfort and instant loading times.
Apart from CD and Steam, there aren't really any other options right now. GOG really dropped the ball on their release of W2 (they couldn't get the multiplayer working internally so they axed it completely even though it works perfectly fine), but maybe someday, T17 decide to put WA there as well. See shall we.

Thanks for the offer, but I actually managed to find my dusty old european Microprose release W:A disc, and it works (after some fiddling installing it)!

I like Steam. Haven't had any problems with it and all of the games I've bought, work :-*

Steam is a good platform to own it on merely for communication reasons, and having a chat overlay can come in handy if you're trying to arrange a game. But it is a clunky and quite ugly program, I don't necessarily like it.

You COULD pirate it (like I did, unfortunately), but it's not the best idea unless you're out of options. If possible, buy the CD. There are plenty out there!
