Does the box say you need an internet connection to play?

In the fine print:

Thanks. That's pretty small though for such an important note. However I guess nobody would buy that box without reading the requirements first, so it's fair.

Can you take pic of the whole back of the box?

Also dang, that's a pretty old build.

You have to admit just about every game these days needs online activation and is only mentioned in small fine print.

Yeah, it's strange they get an older build like that.
I'm sure Uber has their reasons, but I can't imagine what those reasons are

It's not such an old build when you consider it's physical. Released ten days ago, stores had to have it before that so it's delivered on the 20th, etc.

Average quality jpeg. I won't upload a high quality png unless it's okayed by a dev, sometimes people get tetchy over things like that:

No it's not, it's because it takes time to make discs and such, not that it really matters given that at this stage seeing as Requiring the Internet Connect will force an update.

I see a couple slight problems.

1: "Exclusive armalisk commander"should've been "temporarily exclusive armalisk commander".

2: I'm not too sure using a moon from beta times (the moon on the back, top-right) was the best choice, but that's a mild nitpick if anything.

I like that "early access edition" isn't a hidden fine-print thing, and is even on both sides, at least the buyer knows what they're getting into.

Actually now that I think about it I have no clue on how production like this works.

This is true. Didn't even think of that

Also don't see the physical use of a copy that old. If it were slightly newer, it would help the update process a bit. But really, if it doesn't have server side on the disc, installing it to a computer after release will still not give it standalone until updated on the computer.

Really, the best use for the disc, is to install the game, and after release, the cd will pretty much be defective is my only problem. Too bad you can't take the disc or cover art, and make a full server and client release version type disc.
