Default Re: Is the price of Dominions II a deterrent?

What do companies like Shrapnel & Illwinter Game Design offer for your money?

#1. Deep, imaginative game design developed and published by people that enjoy game substance over flash.

#2. Immense variety within said game designs with vast replay potential.

#3. Flexibility that allows us to modify the game so that we can play the game the way we want to.

#4. They offer neck deep involvement in these forums and do their best to meet customer needs and desires.

#5. They continue to support and enhance most games sometimes years after they have been published.

What I want to understand is why there is such a debate as to the price of this game?

Let’s say you played the demo and thought the game sucked why would you purchase it at a lower price?

Now if you played the demo and loved it or are a fan of the original Dominions would you seriously deny yourself this game because you think it should be $10- $15 cheaper?

Does anyone here think that Shrapnel & Illwinter added $10 to the price of the game so they could make it into FORBES top ten list next year?

The bottom line is that Dominion’s 2 offers more depth, and more replay value than your average $50 eye candy laden game title and they only want $45.

Not a bad deal if you ask me.
