I think Civilization IV is one of them. The standard patch wouldn't work for people who bought the D2D version.
I'm not sure what exactly is different about the D2D and retail CD/DVD versions of games. I imagine it has something to do with how the copy protection works considering the D2D version doesn't require a disk to play it.
This is one of the reasons I'll never buy a D2D game. |
