Title: SWBF1 Download

I just looked around a couple of stores out of interest and realised you can't buy battlefront to download anywhere. Even the big ones like steam have games as old dark forces but no Battlefront 1. I don't buy online so maybe I'm missing something obvious but i wondered if anyone knew why this was?

It is not available for download. But amazon has it for $3 for the DVD version.

Its fairly easy to find on disk. I just meant it's strange that you can't buy a digital copy when all the other star wars games are available. :confused:

I wonder if it's a technical issue or just a licensing issue .

BF1 was certainly popular when it was released.
A lot more so than some of the titles that are availiable.

Yes, I really wish it was part of the Steam package.

It could breathe some life back into the game.

You can get "Monkey Island" for goodness sake  ;)

You can get it for a good price :censored:

edit by buckler:  buy it at amazon.com, it is only $3.22.
we don't post about warez sites and such here, Joseph.  Please do not post about illegal stuff again.

I have often thought that as well. I mean how much could they charge for the game $10 or $5? It could definitely add some more players.

Didn't birdosrus have a plan for getting swbf on steam (i think it consisted of using underlings to spam their twitter account with requests, i wonder why it didnt work?)

Yes, that was his plan.  We don't know why LA did not release that title on Steam...cynically, maybe it was to prop up SWBF2 that still had a decent following at the time, instead of the original.  Now both are in the dumper.

Maybe someone should write a letter to LA and ask them if they have any plans to release the title on Steam :P
