Are we paying more for less?

[Nerfix]

A three star new user speaking for all the fans who preordered? LOL.

And you can't really use the "IT'S A SEQUEL" argument either since every game of the Dominions series has been better than the last one.

Admit it, you just don't want to pay some extra money for it. What's the differnece of price between $40 and €55? The price of couple beer bottles? Some food? Couple miles worth of gas for the car? It's a minimalistic difference!

I and a massive number of people who ordered and preordered the game think that the game is well worth it's price as it is.

Illwinter made this game while their two member team worked on other jobs. I think the other dev had to even find a new job. They are teachers, which is a taxing job in itself. They made the game in their spare time and had to deal with anxious fans. I suppose the fans were anxious for a reason, afterall the game got delayed almost a year.

I doubt Shrapnel is swimming in money either, and that their pricing policy is driven not only by economic realities but also selling out their games at higher price than $5 which seems that many people are ready to pay for.

You seem to think of Shrapnel as some faceless monstrosite which is keeping Illwinter under some jackboot of oppression, or maybe you don't even think of the devs, or the publisher or anything else than just getting the game cheap.

Thing is, we have a two man team who has made a quality came on their spare time, and you come and essenitally say that they don't deserve what's their part of the $55 the game costs?

I wish that the developers and publisher get well rewarded for their work and creation. They certainly earned my money and more. On a time cost ratio, I think Dom2 cost me 0.000001 cent an hour. Compare that to a movie or golf or drinking at a bar.

Yep. I mean, you spend at least 100$ on a friday night, or in fact usually more.
Dominions fans are playing countless hours with this game, so 55$ is like..nothing?

What a bunch of nonsense!

Last time I checked I had 10000 euros in my bank account, is that enough for a copy of Dominions 3? Man, and Nokia maker, you are funny!

This is really funny. You are trying me to portray as being cheap and YOU DON'T SEE A BIG PICTURE. For you it is mere 5 $. Than my friend you are very narrowminded. I have asked for objective discussion not low under the pants kikcs...

I have 5000 games on my web shop and you are telling me that I am being cheap lol

Great...

Okay, now you're just trolling -- and not very well either.

I am not trolling. The guy have accused me for being cheap and that I am making noise for a mere 5 $. It's not about 5 $ at all.

I am not being cheap, I just don't like trends like this in the game industry. And why I cannot say this here?

Because, as you noted, your tone, combined with poor logic and incoherant spelling, leads to annoyance and irritation. The population of most of civilization is constantly near the "boil-over" point anyhow, so the additional strain causes people to blow up in your face.

Additionally, there are people like me that like to post long rambling discourses replete iwht irony, hyperbole, and, sadly, hypocrisy.

In conclusion, dominions is good, you are bad, and I am stupid.

Valandil signing off of this thread. For now.

Buahaha. Sorry my logic is not poor. I can apologize for tone but if others cool down and try to respect my opinion my tone will get super friendly.

I am not bad. That is poor insult here. Again, defending something that don't have to be defended. I have also bought this game. Please don't spoil the fun for me.

I am not agressive at all or want to be irritant. That is just your herd forum logic and bullying. Mature fan would accept ANY opinion on a face value and respect it. Immature fan will act like you or some others here. I didn't offended anyone for saying my opinion. Ende. U boot emerges on the surface.

That is your opinion. I think that we have the right to defend our own opinion in this matter.

PS.
The thread should be locked, since this is a pointless and very subjective discussion.

Because you're being uncivil, rude and uncouth about it. In other words: it's not your message, it's your delivery.
