Forestman, don't get me wrong. I'm just not a "gamer", Links 2003 being the only game on my computer so I have no interest in having to join a site like "Steam" to get one game. I like to limit the number of websites that have my personal information. If others want to register at sites like "Steam", go for it! It's just something that I'm not interested in.
I very much want PP to succeed and am extremely interested (impatient) to get my hands on this game. If I had my preference, I'd like to get it "boxed", but that's probably unlikely to happen. Therefore, I am willing to purchase and download it here directly from PP, no problem.
It's too bad, that registration is required at "Steam" in order to voice my support. But at least I can express it here on the PP site.
