Physical copy of the Game ?

[lpotheo]

I heard last stream that physical copies of the game will be sold in Germany, Since I leave 30 mins away from good'ol germania, I was asking myself if I would be able to get a physical copy of the game, install it with steam and still be able to see Hitler lightened up in the game ?

No. But there wont be copies in other countries?

Okay, thanks, so i'll buy a digital one

The Hitler portrait will probably be modded 20 seconds after the release of the game, so it doesn't make a real difference I think.

to be fair, its an matter of a few seconds for someone, or you, to simply copy and paste the uncensored face in. Portraits arent hardcoded and to be fair, it isnt even that big of a deal. I hate it simply because out of principle, but still it is not a problem that cant easiely be solved.

I think there will be one here in Hungary. I know a retailer who are claiming that they will be selling them. They are a 100% geniune video game shop.

NOTE: This isn't a preorder, but a "tell me when it becomes available", but they are usually right about this stuff. It's rare that they won't carry the item which they advertise. 11990HUF is around 38-40Euros. There are a few other shops selling it as well.

No need of physical copy here, all the way digital games.

The plan for Stella is to have a physical copy in Germany and nowhere else, IIRC.

In the last Japan WWW, they answer the question. Physical copys in Germany only and the rest gets digital.
Link should play the video at the right moment (10:50 min):

Edit: the forum doesn't like the timestamp, so you have manually go to 10:50. sry

Why Physical Copies only in Germany, is PDX worried that German residents will nip over the Border to buy an uncensored copy?

 

[wotertool]

Why don't get we good old conservative Austrians a physical copy (PEGI rating, not USK pls)?

Now I have to go the modern digital way?

Actually, this is one of those games I would put with my library of history books for some reason and pay the extra shipping or whatever charges to do so though I'd also get the steam version so I could have it on my PC and Laptop as well Yeah, must be crazy I guess lol

How do you install it with Steam? If Steam haven't sold you the game to download from them, then you wouldn't get it in the Steam program folder, it wouldn't be listed amongst your games on the Steam launcher etc.

The Hitler portrait will probably be modded 20 seconds after the release of the game, so it doesn't make a real difference I think.

And released on Steam Workshop? If you don't have a Steam version then how do you get it? I don't know, but I would assume that Steam doesn't allow you to download content for games that they have not provided.

Physical does not automatically mean a CD. Sometimes there is a single piece of paper with a Steam code in a hull. Especially for Paradox games, as the will make the game only available trough STEAM.

Edit: I had a look at my collection and found Cities in Motion (1). While it comes with a CD/DVD, on the back is clearly written, that I had to activated the product via a valid Steam account.
