  • I can smell it. I can smell now the difference between Nintendo booklets and Sega booklets and PC booklets (Christ, trying to type in the Age of Empires 2 cd key).

    I have 1000 games on Steam, and I know a lot of them come with some sort of PDF, and I’m not saying things aren’t better, but I can miss that one aspect of the first half hour of experiencing a new game being reading, touching, smelling its lore and artwork.

    You’re both half right.

    You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then every time a version has been out for 12 months while you’ve been paying you get that version perpetually (plus bugfixes).

    So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.

    It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.

    It’s 1.1 in your fifth month. You get that perpetually after 17 months.

    It’s 1.2 in your eighth month. You get that perpetually after 20 months.

    You unsubscibe at 19 months but retain a perpetual version licence.

    • You started with 1.0
    • You ended with 1.2
    • You have to roll back from 1.2 to 1.1

    Previous version was incorrect. This is why I just distribute our licenses, not procure them!
