Re: Are we paying more for less?
Comparing HOMM5 and Dominions 3 is a folly. They're really entirely different types of games; the only similarities are superficial. Yes, they're both turn-based strategy games, but only in as far as both chess and monopoly are turn-based strategy games.
More importantly HOMM5 has an economy of scale that is wildly beyond anything that Dominions 3 might even aspire to. The two games have completely different economic realities and to decide that Dominions 3 is overpriced because it's more expensive than HOMM5 just makes no sense.
As for getting upset with Shrapnel for pricing it at $55 -- do you really expect them to sell it for a sub-optimal price? They're a business, and they're trying to make money. Can you really begrudge them that fact? (On another note, I'd be extremely surprised if Shrapnel has a higher per-copy profit from Dominions 3 than Ubi Soft has for HOMM5.)
