I really want to pick up this game, but I'm always reluctant to make digital purchases if I can avoid it. Doesn't look like I have much of a choice in this case.
I'm from the Middle East, by the way.
In 99% of cases i would agree with you Dontdrop, but this game has one huge benefit when it comes to digital distribution. Its done by Stardock, who quite frankly are great when it comes to support. (boy, i sound like some irate fanboy, but its the truth)
And you can always e-mail Sales@stardock.com and ask your questions there and maybe you can work something out.
