The PC retail market is mostly dead in the overwhelming majority of worldwide markets so I'm not sure that is what people were clamoring for. It remains to be seen if the balance is affected or not but I don't see Dice as the kind of company who would screw it up on purpose.

I think Valve disagrees - as well as the other many many digital groups opening their doors and shipping games digitally. I think there has been a huge surge in the past few years of pc games.

NPC (we all know how reliable they are) aren't down all that much, and they have no idea about digital.
