SEV - to buy, or not to buy?

[Uncle_Joe]

Its got nothing to do with not be willing to pay more than $40. I go into the store on onto the website...I pay the amount listed. And for most reasonably recent games I've bought, I've paid right around $40.

$40 is what I consider the 'going rate' for a new non-mainstream PC game. Yes, some premier games cost $50 for the first few weeks, but most other games I pick up are simply priced at 39.99 or so. Perhaps things are more expensive on the West Coast, but that is the going rate around here.

Gal Civ, Gal Civ2, RftS all cost me the same as SE5. MOO3? well, that is a special case. People literally couldnt GIVE that one away after the first week or so...but that was what? 4 years ago? Hard to compare at this point, I suppose. In any case, MOO3 wasnt worth it even for free...
