Some games are offering their expansions through the internet as a download only option. Is the digital download the thing of the furture? Rybka is download only as well. I do not trust this download thing. I wish I had a hundred dollars every time I had to uninstall and then reinstall a game and two hundred dollars everytime I downloaded something and received a file not found message. P.S. I wish I had five hundred dollars every time I was disconnected durring the download process.

Usually when you pay for a downloaded game you get a key number which you use to activate it. If you keep the key # somewhere safe you can normally re-download/reinstall it free.

Well, that's the theory anyway.

Some downloads need more then ten hours to download through dialup. I am not too happy with the download this game idea. My Rybka demo is in German. I cannot understand the functions of it. I tried three times to download it in English.

In that case, I see your point. 🙁
