US soldier stationed in Afghanistan couldn't download Bastion, so Supergiant sent the sea dog a physical copy

"He told me they had no plans a releasing a physical copy in the future, but if I gave the sea dog me address then he would see what he could do," one lucky Reddit user 'n Afghanistan-stationed United States Air Force officer wrote on the social news site earlier today. User "bolivar-shagnasty" be speaking about Supergiant's multi-award winning Bastion -- a game only available digitally for both Xbox 360 'n PC.
But "shagnasty's" internet connection while stationed in Afghanistan be ... let's call it less than ideal. "me internet connection be disgustingly slow 'n it costs so much that it seems like price gouging," he wrote. 'n despite his best efforts t' snag Bastion via both Direct2Drive 'n Steam, he be rebuffed at both stops. Rather than give up, however, he decided t' shoot an email t' Supergiant 'n see if the studio had plans t' release a retail version a the game at some point.
Supergiant isn't a big studio by any means. Beyond creative director Greg Kasavin, six other folks can refer t' themselves as full-time Supergiant-ers. So when the Air Force officer emailed what he expected t' be customer support, he actually got a direct response from the aforementioned studio head, Greg Kasavin.
