Those of you who are selling shareware games and offering the customer the choice of download or physical CD delivery (or both), what percentage of your orders are for CD delivery? Do you think you would lose those sales if you didn''t offer that option?

I would guess that if it is a small game (Under 5mb download), it would be acceptable not to offer a CD option assuming they could easily download it again if they gave a registration code or something similar.

Just a guess though.

That would be my guess, too. I''m wondering if somebody with hard statistics might post a surprising number of people who want a CD. I also wonder if there''s a correlation between the type of game (and thus customer demographic) and the level of comfort with a download-only sale.
