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 
This thing screams for a classic physical version: box, CD-DVD, manual, maps, extra's... I would be happy to pay a 3 digit-number for it. |
I had the identical reaction. At one point years ago, I stopped collecting non-boxed PC First Person Shooters.
Seeing the image of the virtual box, I too got excited. I knew it was a graphic mock-up, but I was hoping for at least a CD with Cover Art. I own most of them anyway, so as much as I would like to support the New 3D Realms, I will be passing on this one.
For something like this, I would go triple digits as fast as the system could take my order, but I might be in the minority. When I look at the prices of boxed copies of id Anthology, or even smaller sets like Duke Apocalypse (1&2) and of course the Kill-a-Ton collection.
For me, this is collecting...
Here is an older image when I was testing out the new shelves I am making. I built over 200 feet of shelving like this for a reason... Boxed games. (actually just FPS's Pre-WinXP)
