I can understand the desire to get a cd backup, and the worth of a cd back up, what I can't understand is the need to sell a cd back up.
Ok to put it into perspective, I can't picture anyone not having a cd burner in their computer any more much, heck I have a good spare drive sitting upstairs right now unused because I just bought a dvd burner drive (and it will do both types).
Then you add that even if good fortune has you not owning one, surely you know someone that does. I mean how isolated can a person be today? And I would hope that if you had at least one friend, you would have a person sufficiently competent that they could just swap your drive into their computer, stick in a blank cd, and copy the game for you. This ain't rocket science after all.
And yes, I know that sounds like pirating (how the heck do you think pirates do it). But in this case, you are actually doing it legit so you should not be fretting. That IS after all the supposed purpose of cd back up software (or that is what they always go to great lengths to say).
The cost of a single blank cd is peanuts. The ability to get a cd burner is I would think very easy. And the software to do it can be found online as free demos.
So my question is, what is with all the fuss?
Aside from the fact that it might take a little bit of time for the retail cd to get to your home, but considering you already have the files (you did download it after all) what is with the rush?
If I had the game by download, and the cd took me a while to get, it would merely mean it took me a while to get. Not even worth the hassle of getting upset about it.
