B-C 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Man that sucks! I think out of these troublesome times we might see a huge shift in how things are done. I wouldn't be surprised at all if most games only became available through download in the future. It wouldnt bother me to much as long as it was at a discounted rate. In any case I wouldn't worry to much about A2 as it will always be available through download. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussie dave 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Is ArmA2 in trouble in Australia. The local distributor for Bohemia Interactive [Red Ant] takes a dive, has been listed as going into receivership, with their status under the [Australian Securities & Investments Commission] as ** UNDER EXTERNAL ADMINISTRATION and/or CONTROLLER APPOINTED **. Roughly, this means Red Ant are in debt and [someone is selling off their assets on their behalf to pay the money back]. While there is currently some uncertainty as to the fate of many of the games they distribute. Can this be merged with http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=77001 as i didn't notice it when i posted... sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted January 23, 2009 Whilst it's never pleasant when any company folds, there's no reason to speculate that this event will cause any issues with ArmA2 being distributed in Australia, when one door closes another one tends to open Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
