Yes. It will unlock for all current users.

You mean the old game shirts? Interesting idea. I know there's merch planned, and I've seen a little. Unclear if a reprint of the old shirts is on the cards, but I like that idea.

You mean from the Camera Captioning Contest? If you actually still have one, we might be able to work something out.

A lot of us allready own a bunch of these games (thanks to Steam and other platforms), so giving us something extra would be a brilliant move and it would push us into a buy.

Ok, you haven't chosen for that option (yet). But why show us that boxed copy when there is none in existence? It hurts really

The first words out of my mouth when I saw the anthology art a few weeks before y'all found out about it was the same thing. I want a physical copy. BELIEVE ME. It's a known request. Whether it happens is a whole other story.

As they've said - one of the reasons the Anthology pack is digital and sold the way it is is because it is no different than the digital sale of all of these titles up to this point. You see, 3D Realms has been selling these games digitally for QUITE a long time. The old 3DR store website which existed from 2009 until the relaunch of the brand had these for sale all this time. The anthology store is effectively no different than before, the only difference is they're now all packaged together, but it is STILL a digital only sale from 3D Realms.

Changing distribution medium (physical box, Steam), it requires a different set of contracts. Given the number of games in here, and the physical number of people involved, as you can probably appreciate, making everyone happy to the point where it can still make any money (without pricing it stupidly high) is quite an undertaking.
