CD or Steam version?

[rattlesnake]

I have the original CD. Would I be better off with the Steam version? I have windows 10.

yea the steam version 100%, and also u should join this new discord server dedicated to World at War. It started yesterday and has over 120 members already who play all WaW game types. We are trying to have a convinient and effective LFG/Chat/Voice/Event hub so everyone can have an easier time finding groups, and having fun. Hope you end up buying the steam version and joining us! You wont regret either decisions :P

CD version. since you can still sell it! the steam version will forever be linked to your steam account.

CD is always better than digital - no exceptions.

Not having to download patches and fixes that will never come to CD (System Shock 2), along with special versions exclusive to digital (GOG versions, and you can then put the installer on a CD, removing the point of having the original copy besides a "cool factor").
Besides, some games don't install properly under Win10 or 64-bit Windows due to incompatibility with the 16-bit installers some games use.

CD is better.

If you are a true gamer, you don't use Win 10.

I have 64bit and it's no problem to install older games. Keep making excuses. Physical is always better.

I still have the CD but bought on Steam years later, it's the better option... Unless you feel the strange need to own the disc, buy it digitally.

You can add the CD version to your Steam library, but it wouldn't be part of your official Steam game library.

The CD version has a few more options (for some reason) to set up personal servers much easier and set two instances of the game on one PC. There's other things I can't think of at the moment, but it's just the stuff I gather when trying to help those on the Steam version with some of those things.

Yeah.. until it breaks. Or you lose it. I don't understand why you'd want to manually put a disc into your PC instead of just downloading the game and starting it with a single click. Double click actually.
PC isn't console, physical media is worthless for anything that's post 2005.
Saying "oh I can sell it" is a pretty pointless argument for a decade old game that's barely worth 5 bucks in physical form, maybe 10 to 15 if you have the case. I don't think you'll miss your lunch money if you decide to buy w@w when it's on sale on Steam.

I backed up my CD version to a couple of discs and thanks to the helpful World of PC, I don't have to insert my disc to play. I just double click the icon anytime. That's just me though.

I have both and play off my cd install now days but there is ZERO difference except the steam version has all the updates from the install.
