WinSPWW2 Enhanced Price Tag

[Letum]

Hello everyone,
I'm a long time player and forum lurker, but I have only just registered. I love WinSPWW2 and it occurred to me that having got so much enjoyment out of it, I should support the devs and purchase the enhanced version.
None of the enhanced features appeal to me very strongly as I am no modder, although the extra resolution would be nice.
After a little digging around, I found the downloadable purchase option.

However, I was surprised by the price tag.
Firstly, the boxed version was the same price as the download version, even tho it lacked the manual and all the other physical things in the box. What could be the reason behind this?
Secondly, the enhanced version is very expensive; especially when all it will give me is a larger resolution. I dread to think how high the price tag must have been when it was first released.

As much as I would like to support the Devs and fit a few more pixels onto my screen, I can't justify $40 for so little. My means are just too humble.

Are there any plans to give a concession to the digital download version? Is the price tag likely to be revised in the future?

Thankyou for any reply and thanks for WinSPWW2.
