I much prefer boxed versions of RPGs than downloaded versions.... for pretty obvious documentation reasons. However, the presence of ANY form of on-line authentication DRM tips the balance for me. And I don't particularly wish to buy 2 copies of 'theWitcher2'... one from GOG and one boxed just to get the printed docs.... Btw, do feel free to address me as "John".... John Lewis
