I guess that WOW already has digital distribution built into it complicates the matter, but personally I would not go against the wishes of huge stores that can dictate so many of your sales. People like their boxes! @Zack: There may be better margins in digital distribution, but the amount of box sales probably makes up for it.

Their profit margin is much smaller with brick and mortar.
