Don't ShrapnelGames *want* Dom3 to succeed?

[Candew]

If you look at other independent game developers (Matrix Games, for example), they offer most if not all of their games via digital download. The average price, around $50.00 US

As such, I do not think that DOM 3 is over priced, rather, given the large printed manual, I think it is a pretty good deal.

I am patiently awaiting my copy to arrive (3 to 5 business days to Canada via USPS Global Priority Mail). I too have received good play value from the demo.

While I wish it had been available via digital download, I can understand the dollars and cents argument that Shrapnel has made as to why this and other titles are only available via mail order.

[Update: game arrived this morning...goodbye world, hello Dominion 3]
