You won’t be able to install the game until July 27, you hackers, but wouldn’t it be nice just having those files sitting there, filled with space glory just waiting to be unleashed upon your PC?
Here’s the word from a man in ‘blue’, directly from Blizzard:
Personally, I’ve never been so organized, so boxes have not been an important part of my collection. They typically get trampled, cracked, dusty or lost through some means or another. As a primarily PC gamer, digital distribution is my bread and butter. I have honestly bought at least three copies of Diablo 2 and two Warcraft III Battle Chests, but the new Battle.net system saves me from ever having to do that again.
Fair warning though, downloading the game may cause a certain amount of lag, lowering the chance of you dominating in the ongoing StarCraft II multiplayer beta. It might be best if you download the game while you’re sleeping. If you sleep, that is.
What do you think, Ranters? Is the StarCraft II retail box too important to you? Or are you already reaching for your credit card? Wait, does purchasing require Real ID? Controversy! Leave a comment!
