Let's just say that this thread is being monitored. Make sure nothing else needs to be done.

Re: Official sellers
 

What's sure is that I have payed three times less for some games, regretting every single cent I had put in it.

Re: Official sellers
 

The price sticks a bit, but one of the best $/per hour I've played. Diablo, the whole NWN (+mods) series... hmm can't think of anything else thats stayed on my HD this long.

Re: Official sellers
 

Yeah I must say that the price I payed for my current.. apperantly illegal copy was.. well low I admit.

But the price they ask for this game really IS a bit overpriced. I'm probably nearly as fond of this game as all the die-hards who have played this game all episodes but really: the graphics suck.. I admit this game doesn't NEED better graphics and Í'm not missing them OR askingn for them but if a good game with good graphics (I'm taking oblivion as a sample) costs less than this game then IMHO a good game with sucky graphics just should cost less.

And edi this thread is just about the price, the message I send you is what you probably want to monitor but KO himself has gotten the same message so he knows. (he was less strict than you in his reply though.) the fact I'm asking for this games prices should indicate my good intend though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

It is much more expensive to release small amount of copies than a huge one. Dominions is not made by huge corporation. So on one side you pay more but on the other you get a great game, not rushed on shelves, not made for public masses.

Re: Official sellers
 

still there are more great games, and most are cheaper http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif that is just the thing I'm trying to say http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Official sellers
 

Yeah, there are many great games that are cheaper.

But there aren't any cheaper and better turn based fantasy strategy games of this magnitude, especially ones with the depth, moddability and the MP capability of Dominions 3. Heroes of Might and Magic series, the Warlords series... They just don't compare. Dominions (even Dominions 1!) trumps them all in my opinion.

Re: Official sellers
 

Shrapnel Games' blog started with a few articles on niche games. They detail why niche games can't be sold like the mass-market games. And despite everything else, Dominions is a niche game. IMO reading these will give you a little insight to the world of those people who have decided not to lower DomII's price.

master of magic rocked too though... haven't played it for years.. but it ROCKED

Re: Official sellers
 

Played it today, actually. It was painfully slow with DosBOX, but I recently played it on an old Win NT computer, and it worked like a charm on that one. It's great all right!
