Re: Is the price of Dominions II a deterrent?
For a game that requires specific types of computers, such as high-end windows machines, then the price doesnt really matter since I wont need alot of it. For a game that can run on anything, it does matter, at least for me.
I understand that probably there arent alot of people who have many machines hooked up with many people who want to play with each other. For me to replace all my Dom1 copies would take one months retirement check. Im waiting to see what method has been used to balance some races, and what options are in the map editor, before I decide on a full shift to Dom2 games.
But as I said, Im probably not in a group large enough for consideration on whether pricing works or not. Other options that I would have been happy to see would be built-in allowance for home lan as some games have allowing you legally to play an MP game at home with one disc, or bulk discounts, or a cheaper Online method for buying just a CD key which is possible because it involves no production and shipping.
