Physical copy?

Has a decision been made yet about a physical copy release in the USA? I asked this question recently in the Paradox Forum but didn't receive an answer, so I thought I'd ask here .
Thanks for any info.

We have been working a GM version for physical manufacturing, so there might be such a version...but I have no precise information now. IMHO, we shall know more right after release

Thanks for the reply. At least there is some hope for a physical copy to be distributed in the USA. I'm in the minority I know, but I'm one of these who only buy physical copy games and I'm really hoping to buy this game. It looks spectacular!

Why not burn it on a cd? Saves shelf space too.

I understand how he feels, I feel the same way about books and cd's, but we're just going to have to move on to the new era where everything is electronic.

I sound like such an old man even though I'm only 20

I thought it will be already a physical copy to be published at release date because Amazaon seems to offer such one...

Well I am an old guy but I never liked having lots of useless cartons around, they simply take up real estate I need for real books. Up until IPad I was conservative about e-books but Steve Jobs changed my world view there

I have some old AH/VG board games I want to get rid of if anyone cares

marcusjm, I also have board games, a closet full of them. Before you let them go, I'd check into their value. You'd be amazed what some titles can sell for if they are in excellent condition.

This is one time where I am okay with electronic, because I will get the game faster.
I understand how you feel, though.

As usual, these days...i'll be getting both (download and physical). The game isn't expensive and even if it wasn't, i am lucky i can afford to buy it twice.

Personally, I'm all about digital downloads for games from websites. You buy them, you play them usually all in under an hour, depending. I've gotten a ton of really great games this way. Sometimes though, I really like to have a hard copy with a nice box and nice manual. Only for certain games though, that either mean a lot to me or may have the potential to do so. I think these special games are few and far between, but PoN I think may be one that keeps AACW and WitP company on my shelf
Besides, I'll take a printed manual over a pdf one any day of the week. Heck, that was a huge part of the fun for me, when I started buying games a little over a decade ago, getting the manuals and all the fun charts and maps and things that came along with them. Getting an oil change or going to the DMV? Why not take a some nerdy game materials to pass the time while you wait?
