''then dont use a credit card, use your bank debit card...............''

No.

At $10 each, it's economically unfeasible to release a boxed version for each.

$29.95 for Latest version of the Game + Entrenchment + Diplomacy isn't bad. I suppose the only question is, is it worth the effort of doing the boxed version thing.

Though, i too would love to have hard copies of the expansions as well.

''If you want to pay by cheque, you can contact [email protected] about mail orders.''

i dont know a single guy that uses checks where i live.. but is there any option for sending me a bill instead of having to use credit cards?

In response to the 'when' question, I'd estimate early 2010 given when Entrenchment was released (and giving time for beta testing)

What about paypal... i simply add money to the paypal account via a bank transfer... and use the paypal account to pay Stardock... no credit or bank card involved, no check, only transfer money from your account to a other... and if you say that you don't have a bank account, i will not believe you...

I think that 'BrotherShepherd' is one of those people who don't like to use anything that could be electronically traced to them. Kind of sad really.

wow scared someone might be tapping your network line? lol. use the impulse client and you'll be fine.

and what the hell stops someone from breaking into your house and stealing your checks?

''have fun when your house is robbed, your ATM is bugged, or you're mugged.

seriously, though, there is no such thing as an infalliable transaction system for money.  if you have it, someone will figure a way to get it.  if you're so worried about being robbed, you should probably go for the check, as it leaves a paper trail, can be canceled, and involves the physical transaction of a paper check.  unless you're worried that the postal service has it out to get you.''

Like i said, People here dont use checks... I dont think the bank(s) even give out check books anymore around here.

''what the hell stops someone from breaking into your house and stealing your checks?''

The fact that i dont have any checks? Or the fact that the last guy who tryed to take my wallet ended up in a hospital with a broken arm? (And inbefore someone says anything it was self-defense)

Trying to avoid the vitriol, but what payment method would you use to pay this bill?  Would it be a money order, perhaps?  I would imagine they could use one of those in place of a check, but you're kidding yourself if you think any game company will give you a full product/non-demo without receiving payment first, and has already been explained the particular product you're asking for is only available by direct download.

if you can't get ahold of any checks, you could always kidnap Brad or Blair and ransom them in return for a copy of the expansions.  if you get both, they may even get a copy of diplomacy.

''There really is nothing bad about paying with debit card or paypal. Paranoia is really a ridiculous thing, ''

Then allow me to be paranoid.

''If you want to restrict yourself to old-fashioned and increasingly unsupported payment methods, that's fine. But don't expect to be able to buy anything you want''

So basicly because i refuse to risk my money i should be punished? even not allowed to buy the things i want?

Great logic there....

But like i said, Have fun when the hackers get you, I will be standing in a cornor and laughing at you when they do.

''instead of painstakingly retyping each thing you want to quote, there is a handy button, labeled quote, at teh bottom right of each post. btw, this is quite funny. i hate to mock someon's (slightly) legitimate fear, but still...''

I know but the damn thing wont work.. And i dont re-type i just mark the text and copy and paste it adding the '' before and after.
