Does BioWare hate their fans who play on PC?

Sparse rural Virginia near Kentucky and Tennesse.

Don't have satellite connection possibility without charging arm and leg for being in the mountain area...150 easy.

Sigh... So I guess that means I have to move to Europe if I want a disk version?

I always thought the boxes existed so stores woukd have something to put on their shelves. But since PC stores have gone away....

There was a time when those boxes were filled with disks that went in optical drives so at a time they were worth the shelve space.
Now days they just do this I think as sly-marketing:
See game in store and think that looks interesting get home and find out it is download code and not disk.
Person throws out the box and code and never buys one of those companies games again -if like me...which most aren't.

If it is like DAI? You have ~20 abilities, can map up to 8 on the controller and I really only use 4.

No camera control in dialogues for keyboard/mouse
No contextual hiding UI for keyboard/mouse
Massive taskbar at the bottom of the screen for keyboard/mouse

I cannot imagine using a stick on the controller to slowly move the crosshair to where I want to shoot. Maybe everything is auto-aim like in DAI or area effects.

I only ever really played a melee character in DAI, for mages or bow-users it is holding down a button and the targets are automatically chosen. Whatever is closest in the direction you are looking at.

Get with the times!

That is not true here in Norway. Every PC version i've found in stores for pre-order are just digital download, no CD. 

As already mentioned, It's all about the money and Consoles is where the money is at. I remember when EA said they were going to go all digital to eliminate the middle man and save on costs which then they could pass on to us. It would have been fine except there was no savings passed on to us.

DAI clearly shows their concern for PC users and where we fall on the food chain. Get used to it, because unless PC sales zoom past console sales, PC users will continue be the red-headed step child of gaming.

*No offense intended to any red-headed step-children.

Its not just EA that does this.  Over the years even prior to EA doing it there has been reports of games on Steam doing the exact same thing. 

Its the same in the UK, if you look at the Amazon store page it is either a "Digital Key in a Box" or "Origin Key", the first is like it says a CD Key in a box and the second is they email you an Origin key.

It could be different if gamers will willing to pay prices that were adjusted by inflation, I bought Final Fantasy VI (or III outside Japan) I paid $80 for it for the SNES.  If the inflation for Canada is correct it would cost me $120 today if inflation kept steady.

What I have learned from this thread is that the USA is a backwards ass place. Dayumn.

Those speeds, the amount payed for them. I almost feel sorry for you guys and gals.

And.... This is why I prefer console. Show up at 11:45 at my local GameStop, pick up my game at about 12:05, and pop it in by about 12:15. Cook some pizza rolls while I wait for the obligatory Day One patch, and I'm usually looking at the main menu screen by 12:30. No muss, no fuss, no need to worry about System Specs, nor UI optimization, nor KB/M porting.
