It's kind of academic anyway because no one in the beta will ever likely play the RTM version (unless you ordered the box version). The version over 90% of beta testers ordered is the digital version which has a "gold" date of August 17th.
The interesting factors to this post are as one mentions.. academic. Things that one would hear, Spock say "Fascinating." And Teelc "Indeed."
90% of the beta-testers, are going pure digital. Yet what percentage will we represent, as beta-testers, and also as those "Elite Hardcore" PC gamers who avoid a disk, because we have the internet.
And also the whole extra 2 weeks of 1.01 updating and polishing we'll see on the 24th. That's what I consider quite exciting and fascinating. Think of it this way... how much that was proposed will we see make it past the disk "Gold" version? Will there ever be an organic city with satellite method, without it being a mod?
Questions, questions. But also the entire thing itself is quite fascinating.
