Is the price of Dominions II a deterrent?

I agree with you in general, and think the pricing is fine; why should the best game in it's genre come at a discount?! Moreover those saying the price should be lower have only opinion to back up their claims, which seems rather pale to me in comparison to practical experience.

Still, it's worth pointing out that there is a rather prominent exception to your blanket statement -- Warcraft 2. This let 3 players play in a multiplayer game per CD, but you needed a cd for solo play. IMHO this was a wise move, and probably contributed to Warcraft's popularity and Blizzard's ascension.

Admitedly Warcraft is the sort of game this tactic is perfect for, and Dominions probably isn't...
