The questions above are the same ones I'm having. Alot of my personal friends live in europe, and so have been playing for the last week. Due to my living in the States, Nexway or Steam are my only options before likely the middle of july to get ARMA 2 (i live in the middle of nowhere, so it would have to be shipped to me, likely 4-5 day shipping) My worry is that if they all have retail box copies, and I have steam or nexway the beta patches will at some point not be supported for the digital versions. If Nexway doesnt have any reason why it cant take the retail patch, id buy it now, but as ive seen in the past with digital retailers (gamersgate for one), they require a specialized patch for their version, which doesnt always come on time (men of war took an extra week or so if i remember correctly, before the version differences between box and digital were fixed) Anyway, I guess my final question is, is there going to be any reason why buying the nexway version now, or the steam version in 2 days, that i wouldnt be able to play with people with the boxed copy due to patch specializiation??
