Why such a high price?

This cant be true! I mean Dom II. looks like a good game, but it shouldnt cost more than 25$ if you ask me.
You cannot compare this to Half Life II. in quality. [It was a bad example cuz HL2 will be an FPS, but you know what do I mean, right?]

Its only five dollars more than space empires IV, and SE:IV is a couple of years old. Shrapnel apparently thought that 45$ was a reasonable price, and here in sweden at least new games cost 50-60 USD. And most of these games would only yield, to me, a fraction of the enjoyment and playing time that dom 2 delivers.
