I'm sorry, what gave you the idea that I am patronizing you or, indeed, those who have good reason for not wanting a physical shipment whose actual shipping and non-game related costs could well come close to equalling the price of the game itself?
I perfectly understand, and my suggestion was offered as a serious solution ... one that does away with all but a minimal additional impost ($9, I believe someone mentioned, for shipping to a US address) ... and, better, it sends a message ... if enough people do this, presumably Matrix and ADG will get the message that the 21st century is upon us.
I made a personal decision that I don't mind a printed manual, or even the lack of an AI, even though I could well have implemented my own suggested scheme if I didn't feel that way and felt more as you do ... and accept that yours is a perfectly valid and eminently understandable decision.
I'd go further and say that I simply cannot understand the thinking ... I won't say 'logic', as there seems to be none that is recognisable as such ... behind Matrix's decision to insist on a physical shipment when, even by their own claims, at least 60% of their customers have made it clear that they don't want such. Their stated reasons make no sense to me, in fact.
No intent to be patronizing at all.
Phil
