I dunno what the policy on soliciting/advertising here is.

BUT

A) Cheaper means more players. So fuck yeah.
B) There is a worrying trend by 3rd party distributors to collect personal data.
My advise is to be smart, take advantage, and provide false data to them, in as many fields as you can, while still getting the cheaper product for yourself. I think most of them have no actual intent to mine yout personal data, they are just trying to look "professional"and to make a profit on a product at a reduced price that other distributors are selling at a marked up price, for whatever reason.
C) Personal data is really, really cheap. There are dedicated companies which compile the data drom multiple sources (fromwhich most of the data is completely incorrect and unusable anyways), and sell them in like 10k batches.

TLDR:
-If you can get the game cheap somewhere, do it. Its not money "away" from Relic.
-Fill all fields that you can without cancelling the transaction, with complete bullshit.
They dont need to know, nor are they entitled to know, nor will they ever pay out to sue you on that false informationw basis (not to mention the restrictions on internstional law and commerce)
---As long as you pay. They generally dont give fkying fuck about anything else, if your money shows up on their account. Thats all they want. To make a quick buck on a number of volumes of CoH2 they managed to get their hands on.
-However, chances are, the company wont exist in a matter of months. So if your the kind of guy that wants to ensure you can get your money back in a game if you are dissatisfied, buy from Steam, and deal with their general "no money back" policy instead!
---Caveat: Steam has been known to compensate somehow. Such as providing DLC as a compensation for something that went wrong for you, and that upsetsnyou as a customer,on their part. Thats not legqlly binding thoug, they do it cos it helps keep up a good customer/comoqny relation, and direct purchses to them, rather than other compwnies such as this one.
