I don't think I'll ever want to play Heroes IV again to be honest. If I feel nostalgic, I'll boot up II or III instead.
I'm on Steam and Xbox Live.

How do thees DLable mm games store music, since original discs store them in audio tracks?

QFT, those guys should learn some shame and at least sell them for token price lower than store price(after all they doesn't have to spend on logistics, store cuts etc,)

Meh, as a online service it's ok, and as long as you only buy games on sale (for around 5$) the possibility of losing them all at once doesn't bother you so much.

It says that it includes 'soundtrack'. So it's either ripped or it includes an original CD.

Soundtrack I presume is mp3 or whatever else format that is seperated from game, but I really wonder how they store them in game cd, since if you would for example try to rip original discs as iso images you wouldn't get music. If they haven't realized option to listen music during the play then it really doesn't cut it imo. Can someone who bought this or 1-6 pack confirm this.
Also can anyone confirm how compatible they are with fan made patches?

ISO doesn't support sound tracks, but CUE does. And then again, you have the MP3 option anyway. I don't see how there could be any compatibility problems, in fact, it might even come with Mok's patch or so, since it's built to run on new OSs.

No, i don't love it any more because when i press it's X it closes instead of minimizing to the right side thing of the taskbar like Steam does...


Yeah, it should go everywhere, but Steam is still the biggest, and has all the big games on it...

First rule of business, never sell for less if the normal price works...

They do have some great sales though, learn some patience and wait for one (Batman AA, Ep.2 and Darksiders for <5€ each baby).

Think even it was primarly released on PC(might be mistaken), and as far as I know console version is somewhat different plot wise.
Warriors of might and magic(and it;s sequel) was console exclusive.
