To any who might be interested ArmA 3 has been given a release date - On the 12th of september the Game will roll out into stores across the world as told by BI themselves.

The interesting thing are that the Singleplayer Campaign will NOT be featured at launch, it will be added in 3 parts with the first part, Called Survive, due to be released within the first 4 weeks of the launch. The last two parts, Adapt and Win, will be released in the months after, no real deadline on those as of now. BI explains themselves in this post.

On the 10th BI held a live streaming event, giving a launch sneak preview. This can be found on their Youtube channel.

So, if I'm not interested in that Steam crap, and want an actual box and DVD, where can I get this?  I'm in Canada, and it's not listed on EBGames, Best Buy, Future Shop or even Amazon.ca.

You might aswell embrace Steam as it is required to play - Steam exclusive!

But I don't believe they have a north american distributor, so you would have to import the boxed version from a EU country.

 

Should you want the game anyway there are loads of sites selling keys including BI Studio.

I don't think they sell a boxed copy in America/Canada. Plus the game like PsychD said, requires steam. So even if they did a boxed copy. You'd still have to install steam and play through it.

Steam isn't just a digital download platform. SteamWorks allows developers to implement a lot of features into their games/software.

OK, I'll clarify...I don't mind having Steam installed for the game to work...but I don't want to have to *rely* on Steam to purchase/download a game.

 

I'm that guy who still buys CDs and DVDs.  :-)

Then you have to buy the game in a European country., and have it sent over.

I'm the same. I still like a physical copy. Sadly though, unless you can import a copy from Europe. You won't be able to get hold of a physical copy.

Are you and I all that's left of this market?  Are those sales not worth it to the publishers?  I have ArmA2, and the first ArmA, and OFP and its expansion packs before that, but I've skipped the expansion packs for ArmA2 because I couldn't get them on physical media.

Connvienience comes first for many consumers, and it doesn't get much easier than Steam. And I guess no publishers saw a profit in selling ArmA 3 in North America.

I do understand them as DayZ will become/are Standalone and besides that it's a niche market - It doesn't appeal to the masses.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
