Its frustrating that publishers dont give us a direct download option when the games go gold. The some powers that be seem to think its ok to do downloads a year later but not immediately. I personally will avoid direct downloads unless they allow us to burn to CD and install from that CD. But the copy protection industry would be out of a job and lose millions of dollars. UBI and EA both have online key checks for their multiplayer games and thats their best protection yet. The whole CD check idea only makes some sense for single player games.

I personally prefer Microsoft Windows XP system. Validate the key once over the internet or over the phone. Then again with major updates.

But until they decide whats best for us, we have to wait for the game to hit stores.
