Lützow -> Still necessary to burn games on DVD? (10/2/2013 10:07:00 PM) Is it still necessary to store downloaded Matrix titles on DVD or does it meanwhile work as GG and GoG, where I can re-download at any time? I remember there had been some issues here in the past with Plimus outdated download links. Frankly, I neither like the hassle of burning nor want to bother customer service in the future for granting access to a purchased game.

You can get a download code on some games anytime from Plimus just by asking but the codes expire after 24-48 hours so each time you need to re-download you may need to ask. Then there are some games which are just always available for download. I'm not sure how they decide what's always available and whats not.

wings7 -> RE: Still necessary to burn games on DVD? (10/3/2013 8:26:06 PM) Buying the disc (physical) version of the game is the safest bet...you can download quickly and then have a the physical disc arriving shortly after that! Patrick

HansBolter -> RE: Still necessary to burn games on DVD? (10/3/2013 10:22:02 PM) Best bet is to spend the extra 10 bucks and get both download and hard copies. That way you don't have to search through 40 zillion badly labeled, look a like generic CDs and have a nice box with artwork to array on your bookshelf with all your other Matrix Games. Also better than combing through a dozen flash drives.

aaatoysandmore -> RE: Still necessary to burn games on DVD? (10/3/2013 11:14:28 PM) Yeah I keep a copy on a 500mb external hard drive also. They are great for keeping backed up files cause they don't get much use, butt I still keep burnt copies as well just for protection and feel safe feeling. Matrix has a members page that the others are stored but that's one of those hands off things and I don't like not having control of my stuff. So, it's always best to backup stuff yourself. like you know the oild saying, ' don't put all your eggs in one basket"
