I can wait 2 days. Steam is just worth waiting for. Overlay, easy backup, no disc etc etc. There are plenty of retail lemmings. I also think you lose the ability to join on friends with a retail version. If more people installed and used
XFire, then I guess we could use that in its place. I'd really like to see us utilise these social tools a lot more. The Steam Community did a lot for us to make our TF2 server successful.
EDIT: Check the
FFoW FAQ. The
ship date is the 25th, which means it'll be in stores on the 26th or 27th. This will be close enough to the Steam release. I hope people don't give in to one-day-itis. Steam is just a far superior platform and we'll get a much better long-term benefit from most of our community running it on Steam.
